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!
