Part 1: Settling in Dublin

Dublin must be a girl  - the weather changes as often as a girl changes her moods. One day this week we had all four seasons in a day - sunshine in the morning, hail in the afternoon, rain in the late afternoon, and warm &sunny weather in the evening. It is hard to be bored here if you pay attention to the changing skies and winds.

I just finished unpacking 7 boxes, and I had no idea that hanging clothes in my wardrobe could be so fulfilling and exciting. Settling in brings happiness... Everyone around me, however, doubts it is for long. I give myself another month to decide.

The irony of my unpacking is that after all the travels I have nothing to place in my glass shelves. I could have had an apartment full of the world souvenir but now I have to settle for one mask from Africa.

My two bedroom apartment with two wall closets is certainly too big for me – I am stuffless. 

I put my current and filled passports under the glass table to serve as guest entertainment. It works very well - no one has paid attention to my magazines & books yet.
The remaining details of the move are uninspiring - I miss all countries I have lived in before for the simplicity of certain things in each one of them.  There is no easy country, but OMG banking in Ireland is disappointing, so is my landlord. Getting internet & doctor appointments was a breeze thankfully. 

First order of Tesco online done!

Now I want to select six pictures to print for my walls - just choosing is the labour of Hercules. What would you print out of my best pictures?
