Flat hunting has been interesting so far... apparently I'm too prepared. Nobody here looks more than 1 month in advance generally and that means there's not so much available for late August/early September... yet. Still, if you look hard enough you seem to find them. I do owe the Student Welfare office at HWU a big thank you; they seem to be the only reliable place you can find private lets for the time period we're gonna need.
Stupid letting companies will want 6 months rent up front because me and Sharon wont be working when we move in AND we won't have a UK resident as a guarantor. Buggers...
We do have a mouse... not that I've seen it, just found poop so far. Also makes me wonder if it's the reason for the funny sour milk smell near the fridges... that could be sour milk though. I've vacuumed, swept out all around (inc behind) the fridges/freezer, no luck, still a smell. Oh well, gonna starve the mouse away, that's my plan, Tom's gone at the moment, which means a clean kitchen, and I hope the mouse gets the message. I am not leaving it a single crumb to munch on so I hope it decides to find greener pastures soon.
And the thesis, my life for the last three weeks. It's been getting along well, well enough to see all the problems that are gonna arise. Not gonna go into that, I could write you a 5000 word report on that before I knew I had.
I hope all's well.
Ooo, and if you want a custom T-shirt from Portugal (or maybe Brazil, I didn't see where) check the comments on my last blog. ;)
