I am in a new apartment. I moved from my three bedroom in Salmiya to a one bedroom in Salwa. I haven’t changed apartments in over twenty years… but I still have the moves! Four trips in a little Mitsubishi and done before 6pm. Granted, I came here in three suitcases, but you accumulate stuff when you’ve been somewhere for nine months (and are looking at longer…). Thank God I don’t have albums to deal with anymore…

It’s a good thing. My old place was a bit beat (and too big), the traffic noise was killing me and there are three construction sites surrounding me. This place is in a more residential area and it’s a pretty new building. I have a roof apartment and I can just walk out my door and still see the water. Plus – most of the tenants are expats – some Brit, Australians and a Canadian couple. Best of all – there is a pool!! (Wish I had that this summer)

Tomorrow, I’ll unpack.
