Our Flat



We live in Bloomsbury, just down the street from the British Museum. You enter through the street door, ascend twenty-odd stairs, go through another door, cross a little terrace, and then enter through the flat door. At this point, you're on the main level of the flat, with a living room and kitchen (pictures of each are above). As you can see, we haven't yet received the desk we ordered from IKEA for my computer in the living room, and in the kitchen, we don't have a dishwasher, but there is a combination washing machine/dryer.

Then you ascend another 17 stairs to the bedrooms (two of them) and bathroom. The flat has been comfortable and extremely conveniently located. And now that we're finally getting set up with our internet connection, my computer, and soon, a desk for said computer, it feels like home.

Anyway, the sofa in the living room is a fold-out, so please come and visit! There are lots of fun things to do in London, and I'm getting very good at carrying James in his stroller up and down the steps in the Underground now, so I will not slow down your sightseeing. Much.

Halloween






James dressed as everyone's favorite Dagobah-dweller this year, thanks to the gift of the costume from Uncle Jared and Aunt Nicole. We went to a community-sponsored Halloween party on the 30th (where the pictures of the little vampire and skeleton are from) and a Church-friends-type party on the 31st (where the group picture is from). We had a good time and surprisingly (but encouragingly) stayed away from too much candy.

A new post with pictures and video of the flat will be coming soon.
