and it’s about time too
hooray for us, we have finally moved in. we moved most of our crap over on the weekend, and the rest of our boxes from storage should be getting delivered some time today.
we still have to unpack an awful lot of shit and get the bags and boxes out of the lounge room, but at least the stuff is there to be got at in the first place. can’t tell you how good it is to sleep in a proper bed that we don’t have to pull out of the wall and reconstruct every night before going to sleep. it’s great to have the bedroom seperate to the loungeroom for that matter, although a door on the bedroom is something that we might have to arrange in the not too distant future.
obviously from past postings, a pitfall of the swedish accommodation situation is that it can be inordinately hard to find somewhere to live, but on the plus side, if you manage to find a 1st hand contract (which we have) then you basically have the freedom to treat the place as your own. obviously there are limits and discretion still has to be used, but our landlady has invited us to paint walls, hang things and change stuff around to make the place feel as much like home as we can. her only proviso is that we run things by her first (paint colour, etc) just to make sure we’re not going too crazy. fair enough i think.
