We've been here 5 days and the boxes are unpacked, but the wall art isn't hung, four light fixtures and all the curtains are missing, and a carful and a half of random stuff is still at the old flat, including the broom and vaccuum, all the commercial cleaning products, the toolbox, and all our non-box-set DVDs/CDs.

But here at the NEW flat the shower curtain we bought doesn't reach the floor and isn't weighted enough. It is on one of those L-shaped curtain rods - a rather small one - so it sort of billows wetly at you the whole time you're trying to shower. It seems like to fix this you have to either buy a stiff plastic liner or sew a lot more weights to the bottom of it?

2/4 windows are still behind translucent protective plastic and the stuccoing and ceramic-tile-mosaic-applying of our new building has been going on intensively every morning, starting with drilling and other power tools right outside the window at 7:30 in the morning. We've got about 2-3 more weeks of that to look forward to apparently.

We'll ask people over once these remaining issues are ironed out and I will send postcards combining our new address (yay for Scandinavian characters!) and my newest hobby (calligraphy) to people who have had us in their address books once my box of stationery is here.
