THE PAST 1 - Moving in...

Since I have loads of pictures from my first two years in Ireland, I'll be doing a series of posts about all the stuff I have done over the course of that time, and I'll start from the beginning.

Today, we'll take a look at some pictures from my flat when I first moved in.

My first two weeks in Ireland were spend on Bewley's Hotel in Sandyford, which was great since it included free breakfeast and had a hot-tub (which I hadn't had since I was a wee-wee laddie!). Great de+stress, and I really miss one now that I'm running. Aahh, the memories.

Moving time
Anyhoo, on the very final day before security guards would drag me out of the hotel and place me on a street corner with a sixpence in my hand, I finally got lucky (no, not that way!), and found a flat through Ireland's excellent rental site: www.daft.ie

Red Couch!!!

I was searching for a flat that was big enough to add my own desk and a work-out bench (much to my chagrin I found out that Irish Gyms are not only overpriced but also underequipped compared to their Danish counterparts!).

Notice how my kitchen looks like something on a ship! The moisture and wind level is much the same!

Once my bench arrived it was time to play Bob the Builder! (one screw didn't fit, so I angrily hammered it in place. Now the bench will no longer disassemble...).










Still clean and tidy, notice the trendy curtains. Whoever thought washed out blue, barely yellow, and boring purple would be nice???

My new computer arrived weeks before my desk, so for a while it was cereal+power surfing for breakfeast as I parked the rig on the kitchen table! (Now the big screen is broken :(, three months before warranty goes, Dell thought they'd get away with it, but I'll show them...)

Well, that's it for now, next we'll look into some more pictures from my moving hell, and follow my first day working at Microsoft!
