Today is May 11, 2009. I have been preparing to move to my new flat since signing the lease 2 weeks ago, the landlord has assured me it will be ready by the 15th or maybe the 20th :-( .I just wish I could start moving things over like the boxes of stuff already packed and some of the small furniture items. Since I am doing this move myself I would appreciate all the time I can get. Still have not figured out how I will get the bigger things moved yet. I was reading on a few blogs about moving in Kuwait and I have heard that it does not come cheap if you hire a professional company, but I will ask about and see who can help. The real estate agent said he would help? I wonder if he will help me find a mover or help physically. I will find out when it comes time to actually move. I will need someone with a truck, even though the new place is 1/2 km or less away (about a big city block). I will stop by today again and see what progress has been made. The biggest problem now is the kitchen needs the plumbing installed. Other than that, most of the work has been done. The landlord, last time we spoke, was still not sure if he was going to put the exterior storm shades on.
I have been trying to catch a photo of the native spiny tail lizards but when I have my camera I see no lizards and when I don't, I do. How do they know if I have it or not? I see a lot of dead ones on the road, they don't appear to be too bright, other than the bright yellow color. I have steered to miss several, they run out onto the road then stop and stare you down. But many drivers just plow them over, either for fun or just too lazy to steer clear of them. The weather is warm here but still cool enough that they come out of their burrows. Soon it will be too HOT even for the lizards
.Update1: I went by the new flat after work and met with the landlord and looked around. things are looking really good and he again assured me that he would have the apartment finished in 5 days or so, storm shades and all, and that I could start moving things end by this coming week end. That is GREAT!!!
Update2: As I was leaving work I saw this character looking at me, and I had my camera so I was finally able to capture one in a picture! This one is not so yellow so it must be an older lizard. I think the young ones are bright yellow.. This one is pretty large, you can see a plastic shopping bag near it for comparison. I am not sure what they eat, but this one does not look like it has missed any meals. I have seen them eating the flower buds on the plants in the foreground.
Well have a Great Day!
