Not Quite Heaven

Neal's balcony at The Address is pretty scary being open at 52 stories. Here's a self-portrait, yes, me in pajamas but I'm still working hard.

I wouldn't be surprised if Heaven is on the Dubai master plan somewhere. I certainly haven't missed getting mail. I do miss TV and the news a little.

The apartment deal is looking good. The Russian landlord seems to have the right papers (although he seems to be trying to get paid off the books). Our agent Melissa is nice and tough and has vowed to see us through, hopefully to move in a week or so before I come home again.


I went to a nice new Asian based home store that just opened in the Dubai mall so starting to think about furnishings. Kind of neat to have a totally clean slate but of course we don't want to spend a lot. Neal and I are not good at budgeting so we need to be careful.
