Why not? eh? I have an infidel cabinet I need to empty in the next few weeks. I thought I would take a tip from BM and try the vino. Chardonnay is not for me, but my 5 bottles of DF Shiraz were calling (not all at once). It is a nice Aussie vintage I am enjoying whilst I talk to my American overseers. Just thought I would share.
I thought I should mention to the 6 DFers still around that the Mrs. gave her notice today. We will be leaving the UAE in the next 2 months for sure. It is bittersweet, but mostly sweet. We are fortunate that the Mrs's grandfather has given us a beautiful waterfront home when we arrive in Australia. It is not a gift nor inheritance, but a home he no longer uses and asked us to take it this weekend. We shall pay the taxes and bills until he sells it or the inevitable happens.
We are very grateful for this gift, and Mrs. DD was always a favorite grand child. It is even more motivation to get home to family, as grandpa is 96 years old and I would like to get a few rounds of golf in with him. I am so lucky to have great inlaws and that that Mrs. DD's family is so close.
Our good bye will be next month methinks. We always said we would spend time together when we left this living hell, and I think enjoying a home on the water with a pool will be the way to go. We always planned on renting a place when we got to Aus, but having a family home to look after will be all the better! I cannot wait to cut the lawn and do all the DIY fixups that need to be done. It will be great.
