JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

    DISRUPTION REIGNS


    Thanks to the incredibly mean spiritedeness of Hubs' now ex-employer, we have to move. It's nothing short of a miracle that I found another apartment, just a block away, within 3 days of trying. It's on the 1st floor, which means we'll be even closer to the traffic, but beggars can't be choosers. I count my blessings - we have somewhere to move to, with the added bonus of underground parking for the bikes. The new rent is DOUBLE what we were paying. The greed of landlords - especially now in Abu Dhabi - is nothing short of obscene.
    Whilst packing our personal stuff this morning, I came across a drawer filled with Grandma's personal bits & pieces. She'd kept her original ticket out here, little brochures on wherever we took her & little momentos from wherever she'd been - i.e. bar of soap from the Hilton. It got me thinking - she was so excited to be here - she loved her life here, it was the ultimate in luxury as far as she was concerned. That little grey haired old lady, from a pit village in the heart of Yorkshire found her utopia when she came to live here, bless her. Today, as I pack for the 30-nth time, I feel fuck all except more than a slight loathing for this place. Recent circumstances have made me feel this way & I can't go into details, but right now, all I do is keep telling myself: three more years & then we're out of here.
    I fucking hate packing, as much as I fucking hate moving. I'm not having a good day!
    I have absolutely no idea when we'll get reconnected with the internet, but hopefully it will be in this lifetime. Until then, I'm on me bike.................
