biscuitssss

So, the good news is, I finally feel better.  Still full of nasty, but no headache and no tiredness.  It’s a great day.  So I made biscuits, and then put together this beautiful breakfast!I mean, those biscuits are a little 

flat- I rolled them too thin, but the next set – man! And coffee finally sounded good to me again.  Here’s me on the balcony too. It’s one of the nicest things about this new house.  We are lucky because instead of there being other building right in front like on any normal street, there is a plaza/park instead.  Also, it is an exercise park for the elderly which makes for good entertainment as well, especially when they play bocce.  Mostly, though I’m happy to feel better and be able to have a normal week!

New House!

This is a little belated but, now I live in my new house. 

 It is quite nice to wake up with some light in the window, and it’s great for me because my window faces east.  Here are some pictures of the room, it is a little wider than the old one and quite a bit longer.

I have also gotten some plants, mint, peppermint (I’ve tea on the brain since it’s starting to get chilly…), rosemary, two pansies and this crazy spiky, cactusy, flowering thing that I had never seen before.

Also in this photo is my desk.  I went to Ikea and got the shelf and the boards and hauled them back on the Metro (two transfers, 

45 minutes and about a thousand dirty looks later – not recommendable) and then the leg on the right is a drawer from this table Shelby and I found on the street.  I used the saw I also found to the street to cut it 

size and it’s pretty sturdy.  All in all I’m really pleased with the results and it’s also comforting to finally have a place to study. (Which then also eliminated the excuse for not doing my homework – doh!)

Then looking the other direction there is a bit less to explain…it’s a bed! And a mirror! And, of course, the moon. I’m quite content and glad to be settled. Also, the address I posted before is correct, in case anyone was wondering.

I found it!

A house that is.  Which means that I move in on Oct 1 to a room with a window.

Also, that means I have an address:

C/ Canarias, 15 5C

28045 Madrid Spain

I think.  I’m going to check on the postal code.

The new roommates will be Xavi, the spaniard and Bryan, the irishman.
