House!!

Major stroke of luck! The school had been keeping a house for a family who are turning up from the UK, but it turns out it’s not suitable for them. So we have a look, and immediately agree it’s the place for us. OK, so it’s a bit over the top, as we clearly don’t need so much room (it’s massive), and I don’t think we’ll be getting a maid to occupy the adjoining maid’s quarters, but at least I can go on the balcony and not be terrified of a 25-floor drop! Plus it’s in a really nice compound with gardens to sit out in, and a little pool for cooling off. A few of the teachers from Sara’s school also live there, so it should be a friendly enough place. It’s currently being repainted, so we can move in on Saturday…
