Room with a view

It was a lovely sunny afternoon when I finally got back to the flat with the keys - after rushing around town for a customer meeting. Just a short visit to get a feel for what I've bought.
Two rooms and a kitchen as they say.. I've seen it all before but this for real. Home to be. :-)
Sunshine floods across the boards, a warm welcoming amber glow. There's good light and air. But the big echoey empty rooms are still just that bit smaller than I remember... or more probably, than I'm used to. The memory plays tricks.
There are cracks here and there, and seen naked the living room paintwork looks tired and in need of a refresh. Jot that on the list.
And the floors slope. I've never lived in a house where the floors slope. Not a lot, but it takes you by surprise.
The kitchen is a treat.. I'm looking forward to getting back to a gas hob and a proper drainer.. New inspiration at the table, and then dinner with guests? Though maybe that will have to wait till the furniture gets here?
Kallhäll has been beautiful these last days, and starting to pack sad, but today I get to taste a new flavour of things beginning.
It tastes good!
