Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

Progress

The living room is now an island of sanity, but the women’s majlis has descended into semi-insanity until I get the book cases there together.

The kitchen remains an island of sanity, as does the guest bedroom.

The master bedroom has some insane corners.

The office and the quilt room are the big challenge.

One little Pigeon has flown, but . . . he doesn’t seem to be able to get back to the ledge. He is hiding behind a large flower pot on my porch. Theother one shows signs of being interested, but hasn’t taken the leap. I wish the little one on the ground would fly – until he does, he is just . . . cat food!

And in case any of you are really reading this far – I’m going to become a grandmother! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!
