My place

I decided to go back to doing this in English for the unfortunate souls that doesn't speak afrikaans. You know who you are...

So here we go - this is the place I'm renting at the moment: I'm in the back of another houses' yard, with my own little car port & everything. I like the geraniums & also the jasmine hedge, that's gonna be so cool in spring!

I live in a nice enough area, pretty quiet but also fairly close to mid town.

this is my own little porch - unsightly dangling ropes since removed. I've planted some sweet peas in a pot, and it looks like they've managed to actually sprout! Hopefully I'll be able to show a picture in a few weeks to show the splendour that is my porch with sweet peas growing rampant :)

The plan is to introduce some fairy lights at some stage, since I don't have a light on this side of the house & of course they're sparkly goodness.

All SA people - note the red bin - that's where we put our recyclable trash & it gets taken in separately on a weekly basis. You have to buy specific trash bags as well, otherwise you come home to your trash bags nicely decorated with stickers saying they're not taking it.

Apologies for the rest of the pics, I'm still not too sure on how the bloody picture posting thing works. It looks like I can't move them around once I've uploaded them, and now I'm too lazy to upload them again. So below is my sitting room, furnished by the nice people of my friends' congregation. I have to say I've met the nicest people here, they really go out of their way to help you. Curtains was here when I moved in, I'm not sure if I like them or not. Still working on the color scheme as well. As we speak I've been filling in holes on the wall & am planning to paint them a tan/light mushroomy sort of color.
Next is the bedroom - also nice enough, very light. Sadly lacking in bedside tables for the bed, but the plan is to get those sorted at some stage in the future. Will also be part of the painting fest & I am definitely sure I don't like these curtains :)

lastly, the kitchen with the door to the bathroom opposite the stove. If you strain your eyes you'll see my funky turquoise kettle, which has a little turquoise toaster friend in the cupboard, also provided by the kind people of Trinity. I still need to get a bin, hence the stylish trash bag bottom right. I've been a bit depressed to see that the size I buy gets described as pensioner size.
I've decided not to take pictures of my bathroom, a girls gotta have some secrets! I have a miniature shower with a very low water pressure, kind of a jumping around to catch the stream situation in the mornings...

On the whole, I'm quite happy with the place & can see myself staying here for quite some time... Hopefully it works out that way :)
