Movin' On Up

Aweh, guys!

So, as we were leaving for the Werkspoor Festival, our AirBnB host, Astrid, stopped us to let us know that we could move into the larger apartment today. We had completely forgotten about the offer, so we were slightly taken aback. Since we were on our way out, we asked if we could do so tomorrow and we were told unfortunately that it needed to be today as someone was moving in the next day. Fair enough.

Once we were done at the festival and Hubby’s ankle was particularly sore, we got home to pack up everything and get the cats in order. These poor bubs have moved three times now and they still have one more trip to their final home in mid-May.

The good news is that the new place is on the ground floor whereas the previous flat was up a flight of narrow steps. We got the cats down and Astrid let us in. I was pleasantly surprised! It was much bigger, with a proper stove and oven, a dining area, a proper stand up shower (the previous one had a sunken bathtub to sit in), and a separate sleeping space.

It also had a spare room with bunkbeds where we could store our bags, but we were asked to keep the cats out of it. The best thing of all was the washing machine! We had been using the communal wishy washy which was slightly inconvenient for everyone.

It really was a lovely gesture by Astrid since we were staying a longer period and it was especially appreciated by Hubby as he can avoid stairs and now shower standing up.

We also get new neighbaaahs.
