Having left a lot of normality behind us it is surprising just how much we celebrate the small things. With the apartment in place we walked to the local supermarket a couple of days ago which naturally caters for the ex-pats in the area. It is only small but it was with childish delight we walked round spotting all the familiar brands that we had assumed we had left behind. Weetabix caused quite a stir and no small punching of the air given that has been my staple breakfast for many years. Add in Heinz tomato ketchup, a good selection of wines and a deli counter selling cheeses from around the world and we were literally chuckling in anticipation. Aside from food we managed to buy a router and now have wireless access to the internet throughout the flat which brings the ipad back in usefulness. Last and surely by no means least we now own a kettle and have just enjoyed our first cup of tea for 6 weeks! Small things but milestones none the less.
