Finally, I’ve escaped the clutches of Timorese hotels and
have found myself a home!
It comes complete with:
Genuine moat entrance (even more moat-like after the
afternoon rains)
Pig family
Chicken family
Dogs who will be my friends (but don’t know it yet)
Thorny pot plants for extra security
Midget kitchen bench
Thought-provoking graffiti
Jesus/Mary shrine (complete with candles and bottled water)
English football-themed bed
Various pets – including but not limited to hermit crabs,
ants and geckos
In short, I have everything I need in a home. We also have
lots of nice families nearby who normally refrain from laughing if we fall in
the moat, and feel quite comfortable coming inside to rearrange our cupboards
after we return from the supermarket (apparently there is a wrong spot to put your pasta).
If you’re not convinced this is prime real estate, we live
about 150m from the best dumplings in Dili. Which if you know me, means that
everything is just fine.
Well Zoe a little different to the "Leghorn" lifestyle! But nonetheless sounds exciting. Maybe you could make little paper boats to float in the Moat! But don't try and rescue them if they float away, we don' want to lose you! Love Chrissy xo
