So I found a flat. It’s the one I looked at Saturday. It’s a bit bigger than my old place, but has a huge terrace (the terrace is 20 sqm). I have a view of Johnny Fox (hereafter known as ‘the irish’). Though I’ve never seen anyone english, irish, american, australian, south african etc there (cept me). I can still go there for a bit of Italian footy. My plan is to convince them that opening on weekends at 12 will probably bring out the island people to watch Liverpool. I don’t think they’ll believe me, but maybe I can make friends with the manager…anyway, the flat is furnished which is great considering I have no furniture. It has a New York poster on the wall, so it’s just like home 😉 It had been used as a furnished vacation rental.
No deposit was needed either, because it’s a work colleagues flat. That is also another huge plus. She said I could paint (not black tho – poop!) and probably have a small dog (she has to check with the hausmeister/bldg manager).
So this also  means I can get a scooter on the next payday. So then I can scooter in the rain instead of biking in the rain 🙂 hot diggity!
Actually I haven’t really had to ride in the rain yet. Not that it would kill me, but being wet when you get to work isn’t always the best on a cold day.

so I move in on Nov 1st (or maybe sooner). Am looking forward to this. A chance to ‘go home’ again…
