View my flat
I moved in on Saturday to my lovely new house. Hurrah! Therefore, this post will be littered with photos like this one of the view from my balcony.
Yes those are mountains in the far distance. And in between is the bay. This photo does not do the views justice. They are breathtaking. I could stand and stare for days. Actually, that is pretty much what I did yesterday. The aspect is due north, which is good in these parts. I get sun from when the sun rises until the sun sets (well, almost. Signal hill is in the way in the West. But the sun does not disapppera behind it until 5 in the winter. Probably after 6 in the summer.
As far as the flat goes, it's still a bit bare, but filling up quickly (at the same rate as my bank balance is diminishing, fancy that!).
I also have a master bedroom with views. The bed in there is going in the spare bedroom later, but until my container arrives from the UK (which is delayed 14 days and won't be until end of June, surprise surprise) I'll be breaking it in.
This is a taster of the bedroom views. You can see all of Table Mountain, sort of 'from underneath'.... You can climb up to the top from my 'back garden' but it's a little bit dangerous. People disappear on the mountain every year.
There are also the "Bergies" - the people who live on the mountain. Before you go too far the Wes Craven association route, these are pretty harmless drunks who come down from the mountain every now and then to go through your rubbish and recycle anything useful. Plastic, cardboard, any old stuff. They serve a pretty useful purpose - although I wouldn't wish their fate on anyone.
Here is also the spare bedroom. It's empty now. And very blue! It should do for the sister, as well as others who want to come and stay. It doesn't have views of the mountain (well not if you don't lean out the window) but beggars can't be choosers. And it's not as blue as...
...my lounge. Which is pretty damn fab. It's got some seriously funky wallpaper on one wall. (you can just see it) but have it from me, it works! Door on the right leads to the bathroom. Which is green, just in case you were wondering. Although not the porcelain, thank god!
Then there's the kitchen/exit to the garden and balcony. And that's pretty much it for this time! I'll post a booking sheet so that everyone who wants to come and stay can book their slot... ;-)
