Yes we have finally moved to our new house, a place we can truly call our own. The house is like a warzone now. There are boxes just about everywhere. For 2 nights, we slept on the sofa bed in the living room while waiting for our new mattress to be delivered. Though the hubs [...]

Gosh, I’m up to my ears with so many things! Moving house is no easy feat. Couple that with another new house to deal with, movers, painters, new classes for me and arghh, lack of blogging is what you get. There are days when the HB and I come home so exhausted, we just want to [...]

I’m back from my little holiday, and boy-oh-boy do I have lots to write about!
England and Wales were lovely! I’ve gained TWO Kilos in a span of two weeks from all that eating; English Breakfasts, Indian Food etc. Arghhh! It was a wonderful two weeks, although we had some “incidents” disturbing our sleep, nope, not of the [...]

Pictures of the “new” apartment
Posted in House on June 15, 2009 | 4 Comments »
“New” coz it’s about my age. In a country where everything is ANCIENT, this apartment is relatively new, and I daresay among the newer ones around.
