We have finally signed for a house!!! Now don’t get toooooo excited, until we are sitting in said house with associated roof space over our collected noggins we won’t count our chickens, its not quite over and dusted, as this is Egypt. However it should not go wrong now. Moving in end Oct.
Villa is in Kattameya, neighbours with someone who apparently has “a bit of stroke” as they say, so incidents of power /water cuts should be quickly sorted. It is the property we liked so much we stretched the budget for. Plenty of room for visitors, games rooms, football/badminton in the garden, banana tree, we counted at least 3 bathrooms and his n hers kitchens (I kid you not). Rooms pretty big. Think you could fit our Witnesham home into the study. Wifey is already planning furniture purchases.
Other things are falling into place fast. We have now moved from Intercon to a lovely villa in a small area close to the school and Kattameya in New Cairo. Villa is great, has an awesome pool and we are pretty settled in there already. Now have internet access (intermittently) and satellite TV, Xbox360 plugged in and working.
T has his first day at school. Seems to be going well, a few English and European kids along with the majority super-rich Egyptians. More on this later……. But looking good.
Have our first visitor – friend who did work in Egypt and is moving to Tripoli. Friend was welcomed into house as 1) he has a good condition Pajero for sale, 2) he brought 2 bottles of Chardonnay.
TTFN.
A good reason to invite a friend in.
