High place home

After four years and two months living at 8c, Street 460, we have made the move.  Our area had become just too noisy.  The airport-hanger-sized volleyball centre built on the vacant land directly opposite our front door was surely the last straw.  It is nice to sleep at night ...

After a couple of months of looking, Susie spied a great pad - and she found favour with the landlady too.  Nice and close too - two blocks straight ahead, then three blocks to the left.  Now we are half a kilometre closer to the new Healing Home but the same distance from the Russian Market - on a quiet, quiet street!!

The only wee challenge - moving our houselot of furniture into our third-floor location ...


There are few things in life I find as exhausting as moving house.  Neverthteless, onwards and upwards ...


The ground floor is below this pic - we have the top floor, minus one self-contained room where a Korean couple live.  They run a Korean restaurant 14 hours a day - mice make 5x the noise of these guys!


Now that we are in, we are happy campers.  64 stairs up saves us ever having to consider a gym membership and the elevation gives us a lovely flow of breeze.  We have an excellent, spacious guest room with ensuite too!
