Yet More House Hunting

[Sunday 11th December]
Let me be quite upfront in saying that I did not relish the prospect of another day lost in the pursuit of trying to find somewhere to live. I had pretty much made my mind up about the place we'd been the previous day, but, as it was going to be two of us living there, and Chie was not quite so sure, it was only fair to look at a few more places.

Oddly, it was the very last place we looked at that ended up taking our fancy in the end. I went in with a rather negative attitude - bizarrely we'd actually seen another apartment in the same building on a previous occasion, and as the last one was pretty bad I had already written this one off before even stepping through the door.

Actually though I was pleasantly surprised - it was very clean, pretty new, had a reasonable amount of space and a great big balcony - more like a roof terrace. I began to picture bay trees and big terracotta pots overflowing with rosemary and thyme.

So we finshed the day's apartment hunting quite indecided - prior to seeing that last place I had made my mind up, afterwas I was in two minds (and so was Chie, making us in four minds in total!).
