Geoff arrives Friday morning for ten days with us. The boys are really excited about it and it's been a good spur to us to get our spare room sorted out into a nice guest room. We bought a garden shed and moved a whole lot of junk into it. Then the countdown started and the transformation of our spare room began. Ian is quite relentless when it comes to being a good host, everything has to look the part, quite different to my casual Kiwi approach.
The day before yesterday I went off to one of the home stores and bought a "bedroom pack" which consists of a big bag with a quilt, countless cushion covers and matching bed linen...and curtains! Which will go up today. All quite Arabic. I also bought white fluffy guest towels. It seems our current white fluffy towels aren't quite right. I also bought a lamp for $40 equivalent with a cute little elephant lamp base. When Ian saw it he announced that we would leave it behind when we left!
Yesterday I got a bathroom set and a white shower curtain. And some little twiggy decoration thingies for the bathroom shelf. Ian came home and pronounced it good, but "it just needs a little shelf dorling, a special place to put the towels in the bathroom". (!)
Today dorling will go and get a little shelf. After sunset, because it's ramadan.
Good grief is all I can say, but it does look nice.
