Cork again

You can stop laughing any time. This is the extra bedroom; also known as storage and potato cellar.










Sorry, I have no idea how to rotate these. So place your computer on it's side. Entry hall and beauty parlor. Illegal to have "power points" in bathrooms so I plug my curling iron in by the radiator. Dad gets the sink all to himself and this radiator is the warmest place in the flat in the mornings. Toilets are all low flush so takes three tries. Just glad Dave S. doesn't live here. All the plumbing pipes are on the outside of the buildings. Imagine if it ever really froze.

Hopefully, a picture of the sitting room appears below. And it only costs C750 ($1050) for all the opulence of this 600 square feet.

This is not the order I loaded these. Bedroom below. No, that is not a king size bed or a queen size bed but it isn't a single either. You have to look for the silver lining.

That is the total fridge/freezer. All leftovers are chucked. I'm getting pretty good at cooking for two. No Sunday evening grazing.

Kitchen is really not too bad. Notice the washer/dryer combo. Electricity is half price from 23:00 to 8:00 so we turn on the machine at 11:00 and take out in the morning. Then we drape it all over since it is never dry. We had to look in several stores to find stuff to stock the cupboards. I almost did somersaults when I found measuring cups. Recipes here are in grams so everything is weighed.

The blue thing hanging on the wall is my second somersault find of an apron. Just try doing everything in church clothes. Ugh.

Sitting room below. Like the 70's colors? At least it is color! (Now that picture disappeared)

Apartment complex. We are top left. Four flats in our building. Ten to twelve buildings in this "estate".
