This has led to some very interesting conversations with various members of the desert family where we've evaluated our finances, lives, and generally had a long hard look at ourselves to see whether it really is feasible. There's no easy or quick answer to that (probably no, at the moment) but it has led me not only update the excel spreadsheet which contains all my worldly goods, but also to think more about where I'm going to make home for the rest of my days.
My favourite blogger can either read my mind or has my apartment bugged as she's written about this today. Very interesting food for thought.
PS Photo above is me, freezing to death in Whitby. Not sure when. I think it may have been the defining moment in deciding I need to live in sunnier climes!
It's only taken me, oh, about 15 months, but I've finally got around to getting some photos up around the apartment. If you know me and you've visited my apartment you'll know that I subscribe to the 'less is more' attitude to knick-knackery and clutter - it's the way I am! But I also think part of my reluctance to commit to any more permanent personal items stemmed from where my head was at on Dubai......it's not that I want to leave, more that I really have no idea how long I'm going to stay. So filling the apartment with crxp seems a bit futile - I'll only have to ship it to....well, the next place I decide to live.
