## NEW APT

When you're moving into an apt you're buying the pig in the bag to use a Swedish expression. You don't know what you're getting yourself into. When I pulled the pig out of the bag I discovered:

1. I live down the street from a mosque so I get my 5 am wakeup call in Arabic...

2. The trash is 3 buildings down - am I not in an aircast on crutches?

3. I can hear the partying in the villa next door.

4. The NC has two speeds: Storm-like effect and Tsunami-simulation.

5. The drain for the washmachine is strategically placed in the middle of the bathroom floor - Not so classy to have the washmachine in the middle of the bathroom...

## CAST

My colleagues say it's very teambuilding that I'm in a cast and on crutches - everyone has to help with various things: bring me tea, bring me lunch, grocery shop, pick me up, open doors etc.

Oh, don't know how much longer I can stand being in a cast...
