Just got back from work, I believe having said goodbye to the winter officially. Looking at the weather report for the next few days (yeah I’m getting a bit nervous about the wedding, which I think is normal - but hey any outdoor wedding is going to have those kind of fears), it’s only blue skies and sunny weather.

Having gone through a winter here before, I knew that basically there was one final shower/storm and that would be it. I believe that was yesterday.

The winter this year has been long and relatively hard. The biggest mistake I made was thinking that I could buy a house in Lebanon at this stage. What a fool. We wasted easily around 6 months running around Lebanon trying to find the suitable home, ultimately for nothing.

There where several reasons for me to change my mind, but ultimately it just wasn’t the time for it. Fast forward a few months and we’ve basically chosen the main furniture (the bedroom, the living room, the dining room), we’ve chosen most of the white goods, even though the advertising in Lebanon is created by a crock of lying shitbags - more on this some other time.
