lady_kareliaDang, where did this week go???
The apartment is sorted, thanks a million to my wonderful f-list. DB phoned their head office and told them we've contacted HUD to complain about what we perceive is a racist policy. They took less than an hour to get back to us, apologising profusely and begging us to re-apply. So we'll go back tomorrow and do that because it really is the nicest and also least expensive option for that area. And unfortunately, all the friends we made live there, so we're really keen to moving closer to them, rather than having to drive 40 mile roundtrips each time we visit.
A couple of nights ago, we took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shalimar1981 and Mini-Shal to see the sunset over the Mississippi river. It was a rather awesome display of nature's beauty!
Little Man enjoying the outing

And last night, we went into downtown Memphis to get a dose of Blues.
A visit to Memphis would be incomplete without duly admiring the pyramid...
... or the Mississippi, which four months ago was all flooded.
A questionable house. The writing says, 'Rooms available by day or by night'
On Beale Street, some played the blues, others showed off their vintage cars
Coyote Ugly. Really.
Andshalimar1981 has abandoned me for a few days now to spend with southernwitch69. No worries, though; she'll be back on Tuesday.

I would love it if it weren't so freaking hot. *melts*
