Glasgow 2.0

Hello again life.

I have now returned to my beautiful second city. Or if it is my first at the moment. I must say it has been quite a drastic change in temperature to return from a mostly sunny summer-Stockholm to a biting cold, at night, fall-Glasgow. In my new flat especially is the cold weather a very clear fact. I am hopping around in pyjama pants, ridiculously warm slippers and two to three anoraks every day, still freezing. Brr! Thank god for tea and good company! Speaking of my new flat, the temperature must be one of the very few, yet crucial, negatives in the apartment. All the rooms are soo beautiful and I have now managed to move most of the furniture into the right rooms. The negatives would be:

1. The cold
2. The stupidity (or general dumbness) of the electrician who's supposed to fix the smoke alarm in the room next to mine for not bringing a ladder (!!!) and not having returned when scheduled leaving me with no other choice than to not spend any nights in my own room. It's gone a whole week and still haven't tried it out!
3. The gas hob. They're so outdated and this one has no temperature regulator meaning that instead of having 1-6 on all the hotplates it has "On" and "Off". How on earth am I supposed to cook rice?! Or anything at all?! I am already a lousy chef!

But otherwise, as I said. I am completely in love with it.
I also have no laptop or mobile phone or internet but the plus side with having that exact flat is that I am only about 2 minutes away from the library which is where I'm currently located. Think it's time for me to hop on down to la casa though. My feet are getting cold and I want to jump into bed!
