About last night ... ok, so we met with our French friends that have moved here from Angola ... and introduced them to Fairuz and Cecilia (Cecilia is French).  Fairuz is an Indonesian movie star;  he and Decy use to work together about 10 years ago ... they did comedy together in that particular series.  Don't have a pic from last night yet ... but here is F&C's wedding pic from a week ago.

I've heard rumors that there may be some Industry interest in Decy returning to the studios ... I won't hold my breath, but one never knows.

About today ... continued house hunting ... went from 400 possibilities, to 100, to 31 that met our needs. Then there were about 16 in the area we can live in ... we exhausted that list of 16 Friday and Saturday.  New lead case is the "Palm House" ... see more pics in my pic area ... here's one

The realtor sent (on Saturday) a letter of intent to the owner and advised that Monday we will prepare and submit an offer (being as folks here do not do business on Sunday).  Monday morning Decy goes back to the house to prepare the "to do list" for the owner ... which will be with the owner by end-Monday.  Hopefully our LOI will prevent anybody from sneaking in on us (during our 2nd visit to the house there was a couple from Chevron looking at the house).  We hear the owner VERY BADLY needs money ... and is likely to agree to almost anything that is reasonable.  PLEASE pray that this is the right house and everything works out ... we are emotionally tired of this process ... and living in a hotel.

BTW ... sent my laptop to the "cleaners" .. they said it was very dirty and must have been in a dirty place, causing the overheating ... no kidding ... Angola is extremely dry and dusty.  Hopefully the cleaning addresses ALL the overheating/shutdown problems.

Ciao ciao.
