Inside our apartment


The front door opens straight into the lounge/dining area - openplan. We are on the second floor - one of 12. The walls are thick plastered concrete blocks and the floor is patterened tiles.

We had to put our touch of kiwiana up straight away - thank you to Fiona and the Team Solutions crew. We don't have a dishwasher - actually the bench looks a tad messy - no where to hide the dirty dishes!

We are happy with our tiny tiny outside 'courtyard'. Brian has his own smoking room - thats his smoking chair!!. There is a plant in one corner that I am trying to revive - a yukka. Note the high wall - over that wall is an unpleasant looking construction site with many hens and roosters running around crowing at odd times. That rack is how I dry my clothes. We went up onto the roof - it's quite a cool place with a view across the other places around. Very hot, dusty and sandy during the day - must check it out at night.
There are cockroaches!! - we saw a number of dead ones in the rubbish bin when we arrived - YUCK. Luckily there have not been any live ones so far - fingers crossed, as you know I hate them.
We have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and would welcome any visitors.

Hi Lynne
it is great to hear that you are settling in already.
You photograph so well from the rear in your wondrous new garb.I'd love to see you preparing a meal in that kitchen wearing it!

Do you hear any praying over loud speakers around sunrise and sunset?
