I have been living in my flat for a wee while now. Ten days to be exact. And that is how it came to it.

I was queing at the registry of my uni, when I suddenly spotted Scott, a mate of David’s. David is the guy I went to Tukido with and I could also stay at his flat in Maryhill last year. Some of you have met him. Anyway, Scott was then asking me whether I had heard from David because he was going to sea and was looking for somebody to take over his room for the time he would be at sea.

I didn’t know what to do then as I was still looking for a flat together with Frances but as it became apparent (?) that getting a flat would be to cumbersome, expensive and time consuming I decided to accept the generous offer to move in on the 16th October.

Here is the address for anybody wanting to write me a letter.

It is a nice old flat. Victorian tenement building or so is this style of flats called and Glasgow has one of most remaining buildings from the Victorian Aera (?), victorian times. It has high ceilings, old wooden floors and those single glassed windows that are not a very good protection against the cold. It is very cold in the flat unless the heating is on.

The kitchen is new which is nice, the washing machine is not though. Bin bags go into the backyard. There is a burglar alarm tv with loads of channels, broadband internet, wireless access point a [cheminee].

getting tired now. should go to bed. more to follow soon.

am going to Lossiemouth Friday night until Sunday night for a weekend of kayaking and surfing the waves and drinking sea and other waters. Then there is Guy Fawkes night on 5th November and the weekend after that I am going to partake in the Britih Tukido Championships
