hot move
September in Dubai is not the ideal season for moving house. going to try living in Karama….to be closer to my favourite south indian restaurant 🙂 it’s also one of the older* and authentic parts of town.
*60’s-70’s

work table
Ever since i remember Dad has been a maker. When we were kids he’d spend hours in his workshop – working on this or that. we used to sell crafts at the local markets. Sometimes Dad would make a project for me and Bjarni. those were some of the happiest times of being a kid. hanging out with Dad chatting and making things. He’s never kept a tidy work table, except in short bursts. i think the chaos was part of what we loved.

planted a forest
catching up with dad and walking down to the stand of eucalyptus we planted when Bjarni and i were kids, around 1985 i suppose. 30 years later and those trees have grown into a forest. i remember buying the trees with dad, loading them onto the ute, planting them, and hand watering for months afterwards. We bucketed water from a waterhole. Dad’s always loved trees. he walks around the land looking at them all, checking in. he probably speaks with them :). every time i visit we do the tree tour.
