Marhaba!
Today is the first of June and I am officially moved into my new flat (although I actually moved in a week ago). I love this new place. I finally got the Orbit satellite people to come by and install the sat dish I bought and now I have all my channels, even some I was not aware I should be getting. I will need to get a dual LNB for when Ashleigh and Kim get here so I can run another drop to another room. I have another Sat box but it is not smart card compatible so it only gets the FTA signals ( free to air) and those are mostly Arabic language. So, I will most likely buy a new smart card capable box and that way I will be able to swap the smart card if I need too. I will also check to see if I can get another smart card for a "reasonable" price, but that I doubt.
Today is a bit dusty, the wind has been blowing and the dust is in the air though the weather reports call it hazy. Today will be a good test of how well the windows in this flat seal out the dust. The previous flats' windows were not much better than screen doors when it came to blocking the dust out, so this is a test. So far, so good.
I need to shop for some new furniture for one of the bedrooms, and I want to get a sewing table for Kim for when she gets over here. Maybe I will check the Friday souk, but maybe not. That place is a zoo, I think I would rather pay extra not to deal with that.
I am supposed to have an electrician stop by and check the circuit in the spare bedroom, in fact he was supposed to stop back yesterday but he was a no show. So I will wait again for him to show today. A good thing it is in the spare room and I have nothing better to do right now except finishing the laundry I started.
Well, I just finished making (and eating) a tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato and low fat cheese, and am currently watching the Today Show that comes on in the afternoon here from 2 pm until 6 pm. I really enjoy watching the show because it is live and keeps me in touch with stateside news and weather, plus it is very entertaining.
Time to go for now. TTYL
