Our flat
Here are ten reasons why I like our flat:
- It is in Höhscheid, a kingdom secretly ruled by me. If Joey wins a ridiculously high amount of money in the lottery, he’ll buy it for me.
- My favourite pizza place is within walking distance.
- It is both near enough and far enough to both my grandparents, parents and brother & sister in law. As my gran would say “Near enough to walk, far enough to take a hat”. And we’re located snugly in the middle of nearly all our friends.
- It has a big balcony with lots of trees to the left and a beautiful sundown to the right. Also: sun from 10 a.m. til it goes down. Nice!
- It is a “Spar- und Bauverein” flat but not the average 3 room thing from the 50ies, but with a unique floor plan that I’ve loved since the moment I first stepped into it.
- It is located on the 3rd and final floor, hence nobody is walking above us.
- It has a small broom-closet of a room, which has a window, so Hubby can use it as an office. Now we basically have a 4-room flat
- Whenever I sit in our dining-room area I can see both the Turmhotel and the Lutherkirche. Additionally, some basketball playing kids on our “own” court.
- There’s a laundry in the cellar that’s big enough to actually dry the clothes of all tenants- not as at our old flat, where neighbors used to take of laundry that wasn’t theirs, even if it wasn’t dry yet, just so they could dry their own…
- We’re allowed to have our kittehs here and in the year we’ve lived here we didn’t have any problems with the neighbors.. except for the one episode with the ugly pictures in the hallway- a whole ‘nother story.
All in all: it’s just awesome here! And the best thing: my Hubby is here with me, enjoying it like I do.
