Anything but home sweet home....!

On with the story of getting you upto date.
If you paid attention below, you should know that we moved into our apartment in the town of Mahlow on 30th April.
The apartment is officially described as a 3 room apartment. I never could really figure out for sure how they counted apartment rooms. Here it is
a bit easier but when they start talking about 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 rooms you have to wonder. That sounds a bit like, if it takes two men four hours to dig a hole, how long does it take them to dig half a hole?
Anyway, our apartment is two bedrooms, a lounge , a kitchen, a bathroom (complete with washing machine) and a hallway. Apartments are also stated by size, ours is 83 square metres.


Lounge before the wall unit but just imagine it on the right hand wall!

The spare bedroom is actually pretty big, large enough for a single bed and a double. The lounge is also a good size, with a dining table, 4 chairs and two computer desks at one end and a sofa, wall unit and bookcase at the other end which also leads into a 'wintergarden' (enclosed balcony).

Our bedroom, knew that broom handle would come in handy, but what do we do when we need to sweep up?



The kitchen seems over sized for the size of the apartment, it has floor and wall units all along one wall but nothing on any other walls. We have put a small table there we use for breakfast and putting grocery bags on but not much else.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

By the way, the answer to the riddle of how long it takes two men to dig half a hole is that they can't do it. You cannot dig half a hole, only a hole half as big!
