During Ramadan, we've enjoyed the fact that the border in our little town is easy to cross. No one really goes out until about 9 or 10pm. This afternoon there was a massive and slow-moving line and we finally discovered why. We have no idea how someone could have enough speed while in line to zoom into these border guard "pods" but this van was going so fast it pushed two of them off their foundations!
We were taking advantage of the fact that the flood of foreigners leaving for their next assignment means there is LOTS of CHEAP furniture etc being sold across the border these days. We feel a bit bad that folks are selling things so cheaply because they are so desperate, but then, if we didn't buy it, someone else would! Tom has been hoping for a man-chair recliner type thing for years and we finally found a DOUBLE one! It smells of smoke so we are currently trying every remedy, but I'm guessing that keeping it outside in 120 degree heat and full sun will eventually air it out. If we can avoid any sandstorms the next few days it would be awesome.....
We move to the new house in one week!
