I MOVED some of my stuff into this new flat yesterday. All the annoyingly clunky stuff: bookshelves, 5ft high +-shaped Ikea clothes drying rack, television, microwave.
I stayed the night with no curtains, no furniture. Just threw my clothes on the bare concrete floor and used them as a mattress. Thanks to the wonders of quetiapine, I slept nearly 12 hours straight.
Now I'm exhausted. And, to be honest, annoyed at having to report no fewer than SIX repairs, including one door (which fair enough opens to a 30ft drop) unlocked with no key, one window, opening to the landing unlocked with no key, terrible television reception and the Hotbird Euro-TV socket not working. (Though Turkish TV came through loud and clear, which pissed the living crap out of me. But I won't go on about THAT subject...) And blah blah blah blah blah blah.
I have checked the council's website and it appears I might be able to open the socket and rejiggle the satellite line-in myself...

When it is finally finished the place will look really nice. Now I have to go to buy coloured binbags to turn into makeshift blinds...
Congratulations to your move, sounds good ! In your first post about your move you said TV reception is good and now you have to take Turkish lessons ?
ReplyDeleteOnce everything is over, you will enjoy your new place ! I hope for you that you will also change in this new flat ! A new life will start ! You will see !
Some of it's good, some of it is bad. The terrestrial tv is terrible. The satellite in English is perfect ~ 100% signal. The Turkish TV comes through annoyingly loud and clear, but nothing in French, German, Polish, Arabic, Tamil and about 2 dozen other languages off that Hotbird thing!
ReplyDeleteBut apart from that and various stupid issues surrounding missing keys to unlocked windows etc the flat is fine!
It will look beautiful when furnished... eventually...
