We've got a lovely flat here that is withing walking distance to about four coffee shops (one is Starbucks), a Tesco (which Katie keeps calling Publix - can you guess what kind of store it is?!?!), some places to eat, and a few shops. And, keep in mind that when I say "walking distance" that must be mighty close since almost every time we walk to one of these places we're either pushing/carrying 3 kids or we're walking with 3 kids. So, they're all pretty darn close!
We've got a washer/dryer combo - It's an odd front loading contraption that both washes the clothes *and* dries them when it's done. This thing is tiny, so I'm washing clothes almost every day. And, the clothes are really wrinkled! It looks like we've wadded them up and left them in a pile for months! But, at least they are clean and smell good. We do have a little fridge and freezer. And, a dishwasher.
The problem we've had lately, though, is that the water pressure is nonexistent and the hot water runs for about a minute. This makes showers quite interesting. And, forget giving the kids a bath! We got one the first day here and Cindy about FROZE poor Dani. So, we're basically sponging them off here and there and hoping that this gets resolved. Tomorrow we're off to see Nessie! That means a hotel! I think that means HOT SHOWERS!!! Please keep your fingers crossed that we actually do get hot showers and baths and are able to get everyone clean. And, hopefully, while we're gone they will fix this problem. It's a long weekend (It's Bank Day Monday), so I'm worried that people will decide to start the long weekend early and won't get around to fixing the water heat and pressure issues.
And, when visiting Nessie, we'll also get to ride on a train. This is the first train ride for the girls. We're all very excited!
