First a job and now a house. Well, I believe the correct term is a maisonette, so it's the first floor of a 1930s semi in the Harrow area - it's kind of like Brooklyn, not really suburban but kind of with an interesting city-like vibe. It will certainly suffice for my needs. Nice order, private garden, easy walk to tube and various shopping opportunities of the North London variety - plenty of interesting looking Indian stores and hopefully a bounty of good curry houses.

The decor is a bit sickly but I think we can deal with it and we might be able to change some stuff.

Also it will have [livejournal.com profile] malachan living in it.

I feel like a small colonial country being rushed towards independence with indecent haste by the occupying power. But it's great. So great.

oh!

I'm not so sure - would need to check the tenancy agreement. My room is very purple.

...wait. Never mind.

We must ensure that our flatwarming parties are not on the same date. I move into the new place 12/13 August. You?

Haha! I have a purple room!!!

We're moving round about the 20th, but I actually want to put off the flatwarming until Lowell's in the country, so it won't be for a while.

What is it with you and dark little hideaways you can store people in - first that coal cellar with hooks or some-such, now you've got your trusty Shed O'Pain 'n Gloom?

Also, wonderful news for the both of you! :)

As I just told Cyg - YAY! That's wonderful news, and I'm really glad that things finally seem to be working out - first with the job, now with the house. Squeee! (Says my cat.)

I'm sure we will, although Cyg will have his own room. I can't help feeling I am reaping altogether too much karma, dude. Tomorrow I'm going to get smooshed by a bus or something.

I wouldn't worry about a bus -- all apartments, even the ones that seem most amazing before move-in, have the ability to wreck havoc on the occupants. I'd be more worried about something small-yet-annoying, like a refrigerator that makes strange grumbling noises, or a window that's cracked in just the right place such that it whistles whenever a breeze goes by.

Congratulations, sweetheart!

As for your 'too much karma' comment above, I'd say something more along the lines of 'after working so hard to get where you are, it's much deserved and about bloody time'. But *g* that's just me.
