HO!  So I just found out that Scottish people say the word skeletal "skeh-LEE-tal".  Isn't that strange?

  This is my "living room" Its attached to the kitchen in a pinched L-shape. The walls are very tall, and the lighting is terrible. There is nothing on the wall except for an Art Garfunkel record and a pop art poster of Marmite.  Worst of all though, is that this entire room DOES NOT HAVE A WINDOW. I know--my life will end. But honestly, its such a depressing place without a window that we never are in here except to cook.  Why couldn't they just give us a bit of natural light?


And here are some lovely pictures of my flat.  Sorry its a bit blurry. That is the fridge on top, and the freezer on bottom. There is an awkward 2/3 to 1/3 combo, with the refrigerator sadly falling into the 1/3 category. That means we have a mini room fridge (It is exactly the same size as some kids have back home) for 4 people. Our freezer is empty, although they would like us to fill it.  There is an entire grocery store chain here called Farm Foods that only sells frozen food. Nothing farmy about it.  People like their frozen pizza, but luckily none of my roommates are in that category.

And this is my stove.  Its tiny, as shown by the regular sized pots there.  Those are soup pots, and a standard frying pan.  Electric pad things, with terrible heat control.  The oven is on the bottom, and fits a small cookie sheet long ways. I swear that the temperature on it does not go past 350 F, which is not that handy. The top drawer is supposed to be a broiler, but does not work.

Yes, I have seen Scotties here.  People do have them.  But what I've perhaps seen more are West Highlands Whites.  They are so damn cute for a small dog.

  1. Yeah, that living room is not really for living at all...it looks like a waiting room in a clinic or something-pretty depressing. And the kitchen is odd. I guess they believe college students only eat frozen foods-pizza's and the like. But they couldn't be more wrong.

    Those little white dogs we call Westies here. They are cute. Scotties are fine dogs too.
