The Nilerud's - Of no fixed abode



A few days after I arrived we moved out of the Raddison Blu, in to the first of 3 apartments we would live in during November, in Jumeriah Beach Residences down by the Marina, known locally as JBR.

Temporary Home #1 -
Terracotta and dark red colour scheme 
After 5 days in our far to large hue of terracotta and burnt apricot apartment we moved to a smaller apartment in the same building lower down and with no view. This apartment was riddled with problems, from Air Con so loud we had to shout at one another over the dinner table and our AC wasn't even on, we must have been next to the service room for the entire building! 



To the fact we couldn't even get any towels, we asked reception for two days, 5 times a day alas to  no avail we eventually gave up and had to go and buy some!
We complained to the manager and finally got some towels and upgraded to another apartment, all change again!

Temporary Home #2
Same decor but in Green's I matched my dress;-)

As was the routine by now I had to move all our stuff in the day whilst Johan was at work...Johan had bought his bicycle in a special gargantuan bike bag! 

The bike has better luggage than me -
p.s. He misses his Del Boy slippers! 
So that was fun for me to move each time as was having to empty and relocate the contents of the fridge. 

Temporary Home # 3
White and Grey colour scheme my favourite so far


Now that's more like it - penthouse with a view of the Palm, we happily zoomed up the 42 floors to our new home for the next 3 weeks, feeling that maybe our luck was changing.


A hopeful sunset
