22 May 07 A little bit of paradise
We’re all moved in and unpacked but with one slight problem - we’ve got no furniture! For some reason standard delivery times are two to eight weeks, depending on what you get and where you get it. The bed won’t arrive for up to 35 days, so the Aerobed is in semi-permanent position. The sofa comes by first of July. Then there’s still stuff to order like shelving and blinds.
There isn’t much storage space, so until we get some serious shelving set up (an entire wall in the livingroom) some boxes remain packed with books and things.
The waiting wouldn’t seem such a hassle if we didn’t have visitors showing up today for a two-week stay! Such is life.
The flat is great though! Overlooking the cemetary is fantastic, like a bit of paradise actually, especially compared to our last location on a major roadway. Now the prevailing sounds include chirping robins, the intermittent powering-up of the boiler in the kitchen, and an occasional airplane coming into city airport.

chirping robins are all fine and dandy, but… what about the wailing of the ghosts??
