As I was reminded yesterday by , about a month ago I promised various people on my diverse friends list that I would have photos of the flat that didn't just include the corner of the desk up by tomorrow. It's now several tomorrows past that, but nevertheless, this is the day that I've remembered to do it.
This is the entranceway to the flat. I'd love to tell you it was taken during an earthquake, but it was just me being unsteady with the camera. To the left, where you can't see them, we have two massive cupboards, one of which is packed floor to ceiling with cardboard. The picture on the wall says "David and Whitney", and was cross-stitched by my sister and given to us for the wedding.
The kitchen is on the left, and is about twice the size of the one in Cupar. The fridge is massive, and we even have a dishwasher. The only drawback is that I don't like electric ovens, as you have to plan to cook something about twenty minutes ahead so the hobs have time to heat up. We're going to add a microwave eventually, when our $100 Best Buy gift card arrives.
The kitchen doubles as Whitney's work space, because we had a lot of room left over at the end of it. The door to the right slides back, so we can talk to or ignore each other as we please.
My own workspace on the other side takes up two desks. I got that chair by discovering it outside an office in Simmons with the note "Please take" on it, and wheeled it the three miles back to the flat. It's perfectly functional even though it only has one arm with a doodle of a face on it. Also in this picture is our dining table, which we haven't really been using much recently.
Turning around, you can see just how large our living room is, as there's room for an entire seating area on the other side.
We thought we were never going to be able to fill this room, but a couple of big sofas took care of that.
The corridor to the bedroom and bathroom leads off this front room. We can't open the door on the right. Also pictured is the Mystery Switch on the right wall - it has three settings, top, middle and bottom, and no one knows what it's meant to do.
And through the corridor on the left is our bedroom. You may notice a gaping omission in the dresser - this is due to IKEA's uselessness. When we first ordered it we had the outside but the wrong drawer parts, then they sent us the drawer sides only, then the rest of the drawers but missed out that one. The clock on the wall is also interesting - you might be able to tell from the reduced image that it's in Hebrew. I found it while putting out the cardboard one night, as someone had just put it out for rubbish collection even though it still worked perfectly. To my great disappointment, it does not run anti-clockwise.
