Quick Blupdate while bunking Bahrain in Dubai

Hi all. Just a quick one. Janene & the kids have moved into the house in the UK now, despite a couple of hiccups including a really awful hotel on their first night (yours truly managed to change their booking at the last moment in truly resourceful style), the house still having furniture in etc. (Again, a call to Australia from yours truly resolved). Never fear when Stuart is near!

I’m in Dubai at present – came here to cancel visas and close bank accounts. Will probably only go back to Bahrain over the weekend as it is awful there and I can’t stand it. I’m staying with our friends Allan & Angela and what a treat this has been – good company, good food and peaceful sleep.

The place I’ve rented in Bahrain sucks – the nosiest flat I’ve ever not slept in. The arab idiot next door to me parties until 4 and 5 in the morning and so I had no sleep at all last week. I’ve spoken to him and the building management but in vain. My only alternatives now are either to get violent or move out. I would naturally choose the latter but this will take a miracle because I’ve paid 3 months’ rent up front. Whatever happens, I cannot stay there and will not spend another night in the place.

Officially 9 and a half weeks to go before I can join the family. If there is any way I can arrange to leave earlier, I will. Please pray. Janene has been unable to connect to the Internet so communication is sporadic. I miss them so much

Blessings to all and more soon.
