I'm sitting in our living room in Doha on the last Sunday morning I'll spend here. It's the most peaceful time of day, when the sunlight is gently filtering through the acacia tree, too early for children or dogs or cars, but with an appropriate level of birdsong for my mood, and it's still early enough in summer for an early morning run in the cool breeze before sunrise followed by a strong cup of coffee.
In a few minutes, Rani will join me and we'll work the crossword puzzle together as the morning light sweeps through the room. These hours are something I look forward to every day.
This is a place I will take with me.
