What did you do without Expats??
Well it was tough, but at least we have Expats back now 
What did everyone do without it; I went to IKEA and Logan Hyperdome yesterday and was up early this morning to go the markets.
Just started to get used to NOT logging onto Expats, and they bring it back... looks like my addiction isn't to be quashed quite yet

Watched a brilliant torrential rainstorm (with my youngest son) from the verandah of our dacha - buckets and buckets of the stuff! Great for the rather parched garden.

Love the new look site and will be glued again when we get home!
