Delivery from Dumyat.....

Well finally the handmade, custom-ordered, family T designed furniture from Ahmed the Furniture maker in Dumyat has arrived (see previous post called Deep Down in the Delta). The English-Arabic translation was pretty spot on and Mrs T is very pleased with it, good quality, good price and we now have places to sit, lounge, put things on and in and in the case of the kids to work on. J was home when the truck pulled up and so managed to take a couple of photos of their "interesting" packing before it was unloaded. Had a few dings which is not to be expected from a 3 hour journey in the back of a pick-up along the Dumiyat-Cairo Agricultural Road but, like the scratches and dents to the cars, they add character to the one off pieces. Heres a few photos of some of the pieces........
