Partly OT - I've seen the apartment
I'm visiting my parents and have now also seen my new apartment and
signed the lease. Snapped some photos of the place too, but they're still in the camera. Will look at the pics more closely when I get home, maybe upload a few into Webshots, don't know yet. But anyway, I did already check where to place the litter box, the food bowls and the cat tree. The balcony is absolutely huge! At least compared to previous apartments, not including the present one, which is on ground level and has it's own back yard. I'm sure the kitties will love to hang out on the balcony, birdwatching or just watching everyday life, as will I. The apartment is on the fifth floor (when counting ground level as the first floor), so we'll be "on top of the world". There is plenty of storage room in the apartment itself, including a walk-in closet, as well as additional storage space for each apartment on the ground floor. The view is nice, the area also - no heavy traffic or noisy neighbours. No aeroplanes or trains nearby, like where I live now. And the rent is some 200 Euros cheaper even tho the apartment is the same size, and has the same comforts (eg. it's got it's own sauna too) as my present one.

Yes, it is a glassed in balcony, like an additional room without heating. I'm sure I'll be spending lots of time there myself in the summer. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

I guess it makes sense for it to be glassed-in, since your winters are too cold and it wouldn't be useful. -- Victor M.

Congratulations!! Good to hear you've found a new place, and I hope you and
the cats will be very happy there! "christal63" wrote in message oups.com... I'm visiting my parents and have now also seen my new apartment and signed the lease.

Relationship breakups are very hard. As difficult as a bereavement really, because that's what it is. I hope you will be very happy in your new apartment, it sounds very nice. I'm sure you will manage alone, I learnt to. I prefer living alone now, actually. I can do exactly as I please and have complete control of the remote control of the TV for the first time ever. Lots of luck to you in your new life. Tweed |

You'll love the glassed-in balcony; I did at my previous place. And the cats adored it. Mine faced East, so there was a lot of sun there in the morning, and it could be quite hot even in the middle of winter. Best of luck for the move! -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

The hardest part of the breakup is actually behind me. Ex-DH and me are on speaking terms, and we stay in contact over the net as well, we just aren't living together anymore. He was here (at my place) when I got home from Laitila yesterday. I showed him the pics from the new place and he was all positive about it, said it looked like a nice place. I don't mind being alone during the daytime, it's the evenings and nights that feel more lonely. But I'll get used to that too, eventually. And with the new apartment being on the fifth floor, I'll feel more secure. At least no weirdo's going to come crashing thru a window to get at my stuff or myself or the kitties. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

I'm not quite sure of what direction my balcony faces, but I think it's to the West or thereabouts. And now I'll be packing, and packing and... packing some more. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |
