Hmm…
Note to self: There are appropriate places to look for something in your handbag. One of them is not in the middle of the stairs you are currently walking down. If you do choose this time to look in your handbag, do not be surprised when you almost fall down the aforementioned stairs. End of …
I’ve got the key…
Actually, that’s a blatant lie. I have not got the key. Jan’s got the key…. the key to the new place that is. He went to pick it up on Thursday, so we could get in to measure walls and things. Only one key for now, one which unlocks the main door to the building …
Nothing to say, but I’m saying it anyway
Hmm, another new week. I seem to have entirely missed most of last one. All I remember is that it involved working like a mad woman all day then returning home to work like a mad woman some more, but this time on something that I’m not getting paid for. And all this while trying …
What’s the time Mister Wolf? Apparantly not dinner time…

Furniture and things
First things first… some photographs for those who requested them (or actually just answered my question with a yes, but you know what I mean…). We’ll start in the bedroom, just because those are the photos that appear first in the folder… Photo one is the chest of drawers (well, duh! Talk about stating the …
Too tired to type
I am going to tell you about our experiences with various flats at some point – promise – but it’s been such a tiring week (despite my half day on Monday and the fact that it’s only Thursday – tomorrow being a Good Friday and therefore a holiday) that right now I’m too tired to …
