rainy monday

today is the nastiest weather day we've had in probably a month. it's cold, rainy and windy. kind of odd, because you expect it to be miserable all the time here, but we've had 50 degree days with lots of sun now for weeks. and of course, i didn't take as much advantage of it as i should have.

we've found a flat! we're still working our way through the application process, so fingers crossed, we'll know this week if the place is ours. it's a small, 2-bedroom flat in guildford. it's close to where we are now, but closer to the river wey, the train station and NOT on the high st! yay! i don't have pics yet, but i'll take them and post them once we have the keys.

not a whole lot else to report. we're anxiously waiting for one of our two flatmates to finish moving out, which he's been slowly doing now for what seems like an eternity. he's moving into a flatshare in london, and he never asked if he could have his room unfurnished. so he's been getting rid of basically everything he owns. only, instead of actually getting rid of anything, he's just 'leaving' it for us to deal with. this works absolutely fine for things that are easy to re-sell--video games, new-ish dvds and cds, etc., but it's kind of annoying for things like rotting tea pots and glass jars he's been collecting like some homeless pack-rat now for apparently most of his 20s. but, since we literally live 5 mins from everywhere, it's not really as obnoxious as it could be. we made more than £75 in video game credit yesterday because he is too lazy to walk 45 seconds to the game store and do it himself! doofus. but again, i'm not complaining... and he did finally recycle, i'm not kidding, at least 3 years worth of random glass jars and heinz baked bean tins he's kept in some tattered old boxes. i think we would have had to punch him if he left those behind.
