Here are some pictures of our flat. Mark is at our dining room table in the lounge. Note old fashioned tv and guest mattress. The picture window/door opens to stairs (remember we are in the basement) up to the garden (backyard) which looks a bit forsaken. The next photo is the rest of the lounge. Then there is the kitchen, the washing machine was tested this morning and works (although there was no documentation so we had to find the instructions on the web). Note the small fridge on the right. To enter the flat, you go in through a gate on the side of the house to our door, then once inside down the stairs to the main hallway (the door at the end of the hall in the photo is the kitchen). The other end of the hall leads to the bathroom, which as you can see contains our dryers (sic). There is a teeny shower on the right. Finally, the last photo shows the bedroom; the picture window/door opens to stairs which lead to the front "yard" (basically a driveway). The window is visible from the street so not very private to leave the curtain open.

We just got back from exploring our neighborhood, which is
Mill Road. There are lots of independent
shops, including many small ethnic restaurants, two Asian markets, wine stores, a decent small grocery store, a butcher, charity shops, and of course pubs. At the butcher we just scored our haggis (imported from Scotland) for Burns Night and also bought goose breast for tonight and sausage for the future. Lots of game meat in our future seems likely. Around the corner, on my way to the Uni, I pass by a
handmade jewelry studio everyday which I will definitely patronize if Mark doesn't pursue my birthday present hint.
