This is day three in my new room. When I moved here I had to get up at 6.30, which for me is pretty much the hardest thing to do. With a heavy suitcase and a little bit of rain, we made our big move. Luckily we were aided by a friendly busdriver.
That day I didn't do much besides cleaning and unpacking my suitcase, turning a faceless room into something I can call home. We had a cosy dinner with the four of us (Lisianne, my old high school mate Harm and his friend Lieke).One big disadvantage of the house we found out very soon: it's cold!
Its seems like Australian houses are made to be permanently colder inside than outside. They have never heard of heating, or double glass or even proper blankets for on your bed. As I speak I see palmtrees and blue skies, but my own room is cold. At the moment I use my sweater more for inside than outside.Needless to say I found it very hard to fall asleep as I was very cold in my bed as well. Luckily I now have found a way to fix that.
The next day while lisianne and Lieke had their introduction, Harm and I went to the salvation army because he had bought a single bed there. Harm and Lieke share a room, but they wanted to get seperate beds. We made quite some people smile as we rolled the bed through Surry Hills, as thankfully the thing had wheels. The rest of the day was filled with strolling through the sunny park and finishing with a dinner.Today will also be a day of exploring the city and perhaps a house party, which means when the clock strikes twelve, I will no longer be a teenager.
How did you manage to fix the cold bed problem?
