Flat viewing #2

I woke up this morning freezing because it was SNOWING outside - can you believe that? Snow in April is not a particularly unusual thing to happen in Norway, but here in Scotland it is. It was so warm and sunny yesterday. Weird.

Jack went to class but I have mondays off so I had a nice long shower, listened to some girlpower music (á la "Respect", "Think" and the like), and made a salad lunch like a good little housewife just in time for when Jack came home from University. But I'm not complaining; Jack and I both enjoy life in the kitchen and most of the time the cooking is a team effort (though Jack has to bear with my being a bit of a control freak).

We only had 20 minutes before we would have to leave, but that was just enough time. Salad always makes me happy, that's how much I love salad. Andy, our future flatmate, was supposed to come with us today and look at the flat, but he got caught up by a tutor who wanted to look over some things about his essay, so he couldn't make it. A bit of a bummer since Andy is the only one who hasn't seen the place yet, but ah well - that's just life I guess.

After lunch we walked to the place which is about a fifteen to twenty minutes walk from Hillhead and got there at four o'clock sharp. The couple who is selling it to us were still doing a bit of last minute tidying and vacuuming so there were some random things lying around, but still it was fun to see the place more or less empty. I forgot how big the rooms really were, so at least we won't have to worry about fitting everything we wanted. The fridge/freezer, washing machine, lamps, bathroom mirror, cupboards and blinds were included in the original deal. But today we made an extra good deal with them in both Jack and my opinion. They had a couple of things they weren't going to need so they asked us if we were interested in buying any if them. Two wardrobes (one normal sized and a bigger 1,5 sized, both wooden), a microwave and a dining table with chairs (all wooden). We got the whole lot for puny £50 so that was practically a give away to be frank.

Jack went to a cash machine just around the corner and I stayed behind to take some pictures in the meantime, but ended up just chatting with the previous owners...

Jack and I agreed that they were really the cutest couple, a mexican woman with an accent, a british guy with a peculiar shaped nose and their adorable little baby girl. I wish they were our neighbours. We walked home giddy as ever struggling to control the broad smiles upon our faces. Such an overwhelming feeling of happiness and exitement. We can't until the 30th!!!
