The room finding saga continues.
Jul. 13th, 2011 08:40 pmSaw two rooms. Both quite nice. Both have parking, are within walking distance of work, kitchen access and likeable enough people.
Can't decide.
Place 1: The landlady - Val - could talk for England. Natter natter natter. Was difficult escaping. But she's a nice sort and intelligent - likes card games and old movies and a whole lot of other stuff.
Place 2: Sharing with 1.5 young professionals (One person who stays there all the time the other disappears to tour with his band. Is apparently very considerate with noise). Place is a little tatty, but the room's larger. Does have cable.
So it's a question of whether I want companionship or personal space.
The other prospective tenant of place 1 came at the same time as me. Turns out it's my project manager. Would say I was surprised but really, since the landlady mentioned the other person was called Stephen and ProjMan - Steve - was talking about finding a place to lodge, I can't say I was totally shocked.
Edit: So chatted to my mum about this. She started talking a bout a Roald Dahl short story about a remarkably similar situation where someone found a lodging for a new job and was murdered.
