Work wasn't too bad today. Didn't get an awful lot done in the morning. Less frustrated with the vessels. Just taking the attitude that I am doing my best and what happens happens.
Had a chat with Gordon about this and that.
Went to view two more apartments in the afternoon with Kristin from Team Relocation. Thought we'd be gone for the rest of the day so packed up at the office.
The first 1 wasn't too bad as it did have enough room for all my requirements. It was to be furnished but I'd still need to get my own bed in, sofa bed etc. It wasn't so very dark and looked like it had been recently decorated.The cooker looked old but probably still servicable. Electricity, heating would be extra although he was planning on getting in a small wood burner. The access to the flat looked a bit precarious and I'd be responsible for clearing it away in the winter. Put me off a little bit that. There was only the owner in residence with his kids coming over every other week or so. Rent would be 9500NOK including broadband and basic TV services.
I think I'm still thinking about the one from last Friday.
The second one today was a hole. It was just along from the temporary flat I'm currently in. We had to wait for the owner to arrive. Didn't like the feel of the outside. Not a good vibe. Wasn't too keen to start with because of the noise from the motorway, E18.
Once we got inside it didn't get any better. Small, dark and miserable. It didn't get any better when he said the only white good to remain would be the dishwasher! I'd have to buy washing machine, fridge/freezer, cooker, and all the other furniture. I wasn't even polite in this one. I just said it was too dark to Kristin, and went to put my shoes on. Yuck.
Unfortunately it was only 1515 so I got dropped back at work to do a bit more.
Got home and waited for skype but nothing even after a text prompt. I don't mind not being in contact so much but if even a tentative time is made I'd like a 'sorry we can't today'. Watched the usual Mentalist and Bones.
Got bored in the evening. Sat and listened to some more of the HP1 while reading the news on my tablet.
