…although I don’t really know where we are in this “movie”! 😆
We’ve had a look at three places so far – the first is still being decided, the second we were quickly told our “application has not been successful”…don’t know why. The third, we saw today. It looked promising online (4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, separate living areas), but reality was disappointing. Sometimes I “feel” a place when I enter it – this one felt unsettling to me, and even faintly distressing. I felt locked in, like a prison. I’m not sure why. It was a weird sort of place – the downstairs had been built in to create “bedrooms”, but one of those had no powerpoints at all – just an extension cord dangling from the ceiling, through the hole in the floor above. There was a “kitchen” and a “kitchenette”, which included a sink and worktop in each. Apart from that, the “kitchen” had a stovetop, and some sort of toaster oven. It all felt quite industrial and institutional. There was no air conditioning at all, which is not uncommon in a lot of places I’ve seen online – some only have air conditioning in the living room and/or the main bedroom. This place didn’t even have fans, in any room or living space. The doors to the outside required a key, so we couldn’t just go out to see what was out there… we didn’t put in an application, and the estate agent didn’t seem to expect us to.
We’ll wait and see what happens with the place we saw yesterday. It’s got the number of rooms and bathrooms we wanted, but it’s overall a bit smaller than it looked online (I wish they wouldn’t stretch the photos out so much!). I liked the feel of it, though. 🙂
We’ve been taking photos and scans of a multitude of documents for applications, which all seem to take hours, so here are some photos I took of the flowers in my garden.
A little bit of sweetness and colour amongst all the paperwork!
These little pigfaces again – they’re putting on quite a show for me this year!
My sage is flowering 🙂
I don’t know what these are called, but they turn up bright and cheerful each year, whether I remember to water them or not.
As for the popcorn… I needed a giggle this evening.
