lost in the forest

So finally I have a room of my own....we moved in 3 weeks ago....it doesn't seem like that long at all, but the rent is due next week, so we must've been...time flies I guess!

We haven't had the best start to our new flat, a broken fridge (now replaced), a broken oven (still waiting for the man to come and fix it - so far he's not been able to find the part, not able to get the part as the shop was closed for holidays (!) and been ill - he is due tomorrow) So, we are still getting everything sorted out, my things from Aberdeen only arrived last week, and a lot of it even now is still in boxes. It was so nice to be reacquainted with my sewing machine, fabric, books.....I'm not a particularly materialistic person, but I have missed my things!
We are also now 'connected' so I can get back to some kind of normality, or something...atleast back to Etsy & Flickr! Although I am still not using my own computer, as at some point in the last few months my monitor has disappeared....my mother mumbled something about Freecycle and a clear out when questioned about it, so it may be a little sporadic!

Today, I am staying indoors, trying to avoid the overbearing heat. I have given up trying to clean, as I was beginning to melt....now I am giving up the internet as I am positioned next to the window, which is not at all pleasant. How I wish I had a quiet shady garden, I'd find a tree a position myself there with the newspaper and some ice cold lemonade...
