Bloody Boxes

What a nightmare. Frustration. We have now been living in Brazil since March and indeed we have a wonderful apartment but not yet a home. Our boxes (read: our home) still havent arrived from Dubai. I so want our books, family portraits, coffee machine, rugs, candle holders, dining table, chairs, Christmas decorations, juice press, pillow cases, clothes...to arrive.They were supposed to arrive yesterday, but, predictably, it was delayed. Once they are here, we need to battle customs and bureaucracy. Thank you Dilma! When you live like an international nomad, your home beomes even more of a "safe haven" and I am certain that life will be much more than wonderful when we have OUR home in Brazil and not just a home.

On the positive side: Tomorrow, I will pull out a wisdom tooth (in Portuguese) and therefore I will prepare homemade chocolate mousse, tonight, with passion fruit, in order to stuff myself. Just like a camel in Dubai!
