A week in Cairo – 24th August

A lot of computer work has gone on this week. Geoff is working his way up through the cars on Need for Speed and Maddy is busy with Dragon Age while I work through all the school stuff that needs doing. We all sit in the lounge with our headphones in doing our own thing! Every so often I get bored so we have been to Carrefour twice now, once the day after we got back to put some food in the cupboards and then again a few days later to pick up some more food and some much needed coat hangers ! All my summer purchases have been languishing on the sofa in the bedroom but are now hanging nicely in the wardrobe. When I feel brave I will try to match stuff together so I can just grab clothes in the morning and not have to think about it. The coat hangers have also meant we can iron, that was fun.

We have also signed another year lease on the flat with the landlord, while he was here we pointed out a spot of painting that needs doing and he has arranged for the painter to come round and look at it on Thursday morning. No time was stated so we will have to get out of bed at a reasonable time for a change. At the moment we don’t usually see 9 am! We also mentioned the washing machine which has leaked ever since we moved in. Only Geoff can close the door with any chance of not creating a swimming pool in the kitchen. Two maintenance men took a look at it this morning and walked away shaking their heads, what exactly this means I’m not quite sure but we are waiting in just in-case they come back with a new machine.
