Happy 20 yr anniversary in Dubai to me. And now the mourning starts because I’m leaving later this year. How do you get over saying goodbye to a beloved city you called “home”? As an expat, I knew I could not remain here forever. #expat #expatlife #homeawayfromhome

How to choose from 20yrs’ collecting, which cultural objects to take with and which ones to leave in a country? Should my beloved old Arabic decor pieces move to South Africa? My SA antiques were fine in Dubai. I guess they are happy to return home. #culturalappreciation #collector #dilemma

Some of my Sassy Ladies mixed media sustainability portraits are going to be exhibited next month here in Dubai. Made from discarded costume jewelry and fabric offcuts from the tailors, with chalks & acrylics, and embroidery. #mixedmediaart #recycledart #sustainability #artists

After 20 years in superfast-paced Dubai it is time to plan a shift back home, to South Africa. I have 10 months to do my bucket list items in the Middle East. Give me some ideas please? #expatlife #cultureshock #bucketlist

The annual dreaded decluttering has begun. Happy to put some collectibles up for adoption and redecorate my space. What about you? Are you a December declutterer or do you prefer to do it in a new year? Picture of my cute rescue kitty, Pepper. #declutter #decorate #lifegoals #2024 #aspirations

Uh oh… teenager miraculously looked for a broom and discovered a forgotten hidden bag of unwrapped Christmas gifts in the broom closet. Whoops! #christmas #blooper

Sad that my expensive “From That Big Company” purchase from the US arrived in Dubai, broken. Why do sellers not use common sense when packaging fragile items for sale? Any tips for repairs will be welcome. #sad #commonsense #savechristmas #help #howtoadvice

Looked up at this overhead light unit the entire duration of my dental cleaning session. It looks like a giant robotic praying mantis. At least he was a friendly fellow!

Tonight’s D&D featured a daring escape while surrounded by Elven guards on a rope bridge. Ranger fell off, face-planting down below. Elf teleported away. Tiefling fell over. My dwarf barbarian dived into a guard and bit his foot. Fun times! At least we survive for one more week. #d&d #5e #rpg

Got a blister after long hours cutting cardstock and inking all the edges with a tiny sponge for my shabby chic Tea Garden themed art journal.

D&D night went well. Rolled a Nat 1 on a spontaneous singalong operatic performance… talk about pitch imperfect squawk! Embarrassed my dwarf clan and the rest of the assembled guests. On the upside… got 3 free coffees just to shut up. I consider that a win any day. ☺️🏆 #d&d5e #rpglife #freecoffee

Why are there no drops from the train passing through Stardew Valley on the Riverland Farm map? Am I just unlucky or is it a glitch? 6 empty trains so far and it is driving me crazy. #stardewvalley #gamingproblems #gameglitch

Making a handmade sensory book for someone else to use as a visually inspiring journal. Theme: tea, flowers & butterflies. I am creating enticing ways to write and interact with images, hidden notes, envelopes & tags. NaNoWriMo’s pure word-form is too boring right now.

Dubai is having a severe storm. School announced a “rain day” and told kids to stay home. And my flat-roof house has activated its marvellous indoor waterfall feature again. Looks like I will be on bucket-emptying duty until the rain stops. #dubai #rainyday #badarchitecture

My Tuesday night D&D game’s Nat 20 still fresh on my mind, I was surprised to hear a guy croon about “A pair o’ dice” on the radio yesterday. Awesome adventure ballad, I thought.
Turned out to be Coldplay’s Paradise! 😁 #RPG #dungeons&dragons #misheardlyrics

Our rescue (Pepper) scratched her stitches. Vet gave us antiseptic spray. Yesterday Pepper clawed me to bits.
The stuff smells worse than teargas!
Today’s spray I had to do solo. Downwind.
Pepper sped off like a furry bullet and my nasal passages have melted.

Day 9 of NaNoWriMo 2023 and I’m pretty satisfied with the plotting so far. Time to write and boost that word count. (total 7766 words)
