Weather here is perfect - after 8 days of 100 degrees in Tallahassee. The first week here calls for 75 every day - sunny - no rain - breeze. It will be a nice change.
I like the electrical and plumbing fixtures over here - very spartan and practical. We have two very little water heaters - one in the shower and one in the kitchen. Water pipes are plastic and pencil thin. All wires are thin and 220 volts. They are not too particular about shielding them either.
Our apartment is small but has 12 feet ceilings. It is one room about 13 x 13 - a 5 x 6 kitchen - and a 6 x 6 bathroom. We pay nothing for it - FSU owns it. If we wanted a bigger flat - we would pay extra. 50 pounds a week for a 2 br - 150 pounds a week extra for 3 br 2 ba. We plan to get a 3 br 2 ba next summer so guests can come to visit.
We are on Gower Street a couple hundred yards from the British Museum.
This is our apartment. We are on the first floor - behind that sign. The sign says this was the National Institute of the Deaf at one time. Last year we were in the basement - we're movin' on up. The picture and map are from google.com.
