Well, after nearly a month and a half we are officially moved in to our new apartment! It took a while to set up the office/study, because until recently we had no way to bring the desks from bat yam to beersheva. In the interim, we set everything else up, found a bedframe (no more sleeping on the floor), visited Ikea for some random things, drilled about a thousand holes in the walls, and acquired more homey crap.
But now you can see our "new" home in its entirety! Check out <http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dj_modus_ponens/album?.dir=/623are2>
It was my first visit to Ikea, and as we walked by all the furnished displays I felt like I was invading peoples' homes. That place is intense. I've never seen so large a building so full of people. And not just people - Israelis.
Also, we have some new pets. In addition to Limor's hamster, the building has a set of five geckos that hang out on the ceiling of the stairwell outside our apartment. And when we turn our kitchen light on at night, there's always one lizard on the window. We call them all "Lizzie" (or collectively "the Lizzies"), which is short for "Lizard-Breath" and not Elizabeth as you might think.
And we're trying our hand at horticulture with a window garden - basil, mint, some lemony thing, and rosemary. They don't have names, but are very tasty in assorted dishes. Limor calls them our babies, which is rather disturbing after the previous sentence (asides from the obvious reasons).
The adventure continues!
