Moved

This morning I left Sheila’s in a tuk tuk along with various bags and boxes and am now installed in Alta’s back bedroom amidst various half-unpacked bags and boxes. It’s chucking it down outside, making a merry racket on the corregated iron roof just below my window, and there’s thunder brewing, getting ready to boom very very soon........And I’m inside, snug with a coffee and laptop and happy to be writing this from my new abode.

The flat is on the ground floor of a big block of flats, probably about 8 floors high. I’ll have a look tomorrow and take a photo. It’s fairly big with a front room, 2 bedrooms and a good sized kitchen. And there’s a proper gas oven!! Am chuffed as they’re quite a rarity here. The usual thing is a 2 ring gas burner. Fine for most things but makes rubbish cakes.

Tomorrow I have a free day to finish unpacking and settle in. Am glad cos am weary today after a week of weird jet-lagged sleeping. Have been wide awake most nights til 3am. Last night I managed to konk out at midnight though and make it through til 7am. So here’s hoping for more happy sleeps to come.
