Tomorrow we move into our new apartment... Which is good. We're really lucky to have found something that so closely matches our aspirations.
But it does mean that the roving months are over. Normality is setting in. And I'm kind of ambivalent about that.
For this one last night we're still in the cocooned, points-gifted luxury of The Pullman.
An awesome sunset to close our time here
I'll miss the Pullman lobby-fish
But today (as well as watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) we've already been preparing to move on.
The new wave of acquisition has begun... Aaaaargh...
More on the flat once we've knocked it into shape a bit. But here's a glimpse:
In the meantime, a few little snippets that illustrate why we like it here...
This is a bit of undeveloped land near our hotel -- the sheer exuberance of the vegetation is unbelievable...
An old house on the riverfront
Cheesy teh tarik! Nigel's very sniffy. I love it...
New bits of street art
The skies have been notably clearer since the weekend rain (which unfortunately fell all over the marathon-runners)
Just a few elegant wraiths of mist
Until this week, we'd not spotted this little shrine, on the road parallel to Jalan Padungan
And there's always, always, colour
If I've got to settle down somewhere (and there is no choice, it seems), then here's a mighty good place to do it.
