Another Bed

We've started teaching English at the Anglican Training Centre and we are now in the process of moving to a flat which is very near to where we are teaching. We are moving from the Anglican Guest House which is in the centre of Cairo. We hope to stay in our flat for a while because we have once again found ourselves changing beds on a regular basis: since Christmas we've moved from Devon to Yatton and then to a hotel at Heathrow; from the Anglican Guest House to a flat above the Guest House because the guest house was full; and finally to our new flat later today - we just need to buy some bed linen and we will have ourselves a new home.

Packed

We've finished packing our one suitcase each and we're heading to a windy Heathrow. This time we are not taking so many books with us as we are now the proud owners of a 'kindle'. This e-book can store about 400 books. We have downloaded about 25 books over the Christmas period. Many are free because they are out of copyright, such as
Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle and Victor Hugo.
We have enjoyed our 'home-leave' but we are looking forward to putting into practise what we learnt on our TESOL course, and we are excited about experiencing another new culture in the Middle East - Egypt. P
