Right now, I am sitting in our flat in Sundsvall drinking a beer and occasionally glancing over at Martina who is in the corner to my right doing some yoga.
We have our own different ways of relaxing after a long day getting annoyed with trying to fix bicycles.

Anways.
Our time in Orebro came to an end, we got on a a train for four hours to a place called Sundsvall.
We picked up the keys for the flat, and dragged our cases up the long hill which is oscarsgatan.


When we first got to the flat it was empty, but very clean.
This is student living done by people who eat krispbread and cucumber for breakfast.
You could eat off the floor.
No dodgy carpets, no manky wallpaper, no stained mattresses, no holes in the walls filled with empty baked bean cans. No, this place is straight plywood all over your face.

After two nights of sleeping on inflatable camping beds, Martina's parents turned up with all her gear from her old gaff, and a new bed, and a new tv. Which was quite exciting. Also, Martina's mumsie Annette had brought some food with her... YES! She is an amazing cook, and I will have to publish her recipe for spinach and sundried tomato pie which she gave me, because it is unreal.

So we ate the vegetarian moussaka and arranged the furniture. Mats put the television on the wall and we all rejoiced.

Enjoy the before and after pictures. Click on them to enlarge apparently.






Ok, they aren't that great, but you will see more soon.

  1. Can't wait for the next episode.
    What will be the next required item in your flat?
    My flat in Belfast is not dissimilar! As this is Ireland there are lots of glasses but not much to cook with. I had to buy a tv! I could go to Ikea for a swedish meatball to try and method myself into your life!!
