We're laying down roots!

It's official...we have a home! We finally managed to find an apartment in an area called Kensington which is about a 5 minute drive from where we currently stay and it'll be about a 2 minute drive from BG. It's a small apartment, although bigger than what we had in HK, but it'll do for now. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchen that can fit more than 2 people at the same time, an area for a 6-seater dining table and a lounge. We signed the lease and received the keys on Wednesday, now we're just waiting for our container to be released from quarantine and then we can move into our new home. In the mean time, we've been buying small appliances such as a kettle, a toaster, a vacuum cleaner and an iron...very exciting stuff when you can buy good quality products knowing that they will have to last a long time because this is home now. Our next big purchases will be a fridge and a washing machine; we weren't aware that even as renters you have to buy these appliances. So for now, our couch and dining table and chairs will have to wait. The only person who will be able to eat meals comfortably and in a civilised manner will be Justin! But who cares....we have a home!!!!! And we're looking forward to furnishing it and making it our home!
