13 conversations about one thing + special news

I cycled in front of the library yesterday, and decided to browse their DVD section. I found a film I wanted to see for a while: Thirteen conversations about one thing. It is quite an odd one. And not as joyful as I expected and wanted it to be. Allegedly it is all about happiness, but it seems to be more about how fragile and limited in time happiness is, and how people should not take it for granted.



Which is not at all the sort of film we wanted to watch since we had something to celebrate:

Indeed, we have yesterday exchanged contract to buy a house! A house! A house! We will have the keys next Friday.

So, after years of saving money (during which time house prices have increased at a rate higher than our saving, Gggrrrrrr...) we have found a house. And in 20 years we will fully own it. It is an awful lot of money and thinking of 20 years ahead is kinda scary...

The great thing about that place is that the kitchen is big enough to have more than 1 person in it, which is not the case in our current flat. So Trave & I will be able to make dinner together, which is impossible at the moment. I am also looking forward to not having to eat by the coffee table but at a real table. Watch out for more news soon!
