Housecleaning

The house we are renting comes furnished with the basics -- dining table, sofa, chairs, beds, washing machine. All  of the smaller items for daily living are our responsibility to purchase. So we decided to ship most of those items from Doha. The shipment left Doha on June 30 and we expect it to arrive later this week. In preparation, we spent the weekend cleaning the house while it is mostly empty.

It was a beehive of activity as we had curtains washed, sofa cleaned, air conditioner repaired, mattresses cleaned, light fixtures cleaned and lightbulbs replaced.

Everyone pitched in. Max and Simon have been especially helpful because of their height! The ceilings are 13 feet high.....
