Things have moved ahead.  Adam and I have signed for the apartment:

We are both excited, but strangely calm.  As if, after digging ourselves out of our post-graduate debts, we have flung ourselves wholeheartedly back into the abyss.

Ah, debt: where the path is confusing, the information is in Swahili (or Dutch- same diff),  the future is uncertain, and the outcome is not guaranteed.

But hey, it’s a familiar road.  Oddly comforting.  And in the meantime there are wooden floors to tread and cabinet dampers to swing.  Eee!
