The Great Escape

Looks like my new-found arguing skills are going to become redundant, as E and I have found a house. It's in a nearby town in a small block of flats. Living in the block are the couple who own our new house, the parents of the wife and another couple. I checked the cupboards and found no crazy Romanians. The couple who rent the house are friendly enough even though the husband is one of those types who knows five phrases in English and keeps trotting them out in the presence of an English-speaking person, accompanied by lots of self-conscious haw-hawing. "You're in pole position for this house" haw haw haw, he informed us. (Is this actually annoying or am I just really intolerant?).

The house is small but sweet, and the residence is fenced off from the road and has a garden which is full of flowers and a vegetable patch. My blogging is likely to slow down (...even more) for the moment as we have emptied our pockets and bank accounts to pay the deposit (a painful 3 months' rent here). This means that paying the internet subscription might go down the list of priorities for now, however there's always the internet cafe, so I will endeavour to keep the posts coming.
