An Open Email

Madrid is good. Really hot. Got stupidly sunburnt on my first day and have
been in agony ever since.

Found an apartment yesterday, moved in today and have decided that is positively the worst apartment EVER! its just awful, we have spent all day trying to clean it and make it look nicer but to no avail. We don't even dare go into the kitchen just yet. I have a feeling that we will be moving very very soon.

The best bit is the bathroom with supposedly new taps that are coming away from the wall. You can also lock yourself in but then someone has to let you out from the outside.

I also like the fact that the oven has been taped up with brown sellotape no less
so we can't use it but there appears to be an old crusty baking tray inside. yum yum.
No spiders tho, we're on the ninth floor! agh!
Other than that I do like Madrid.

I have put the photos up in my room to make it more homely. I got the double bed but there are loadsa of rank stains all over the matress. Lurvely.

My flatmate H thinks that a family of 10 South American immigrants lived in the flat before us - there are so many random shelves and draws in all the wardrobes that we think that is where all the children slept.
So there's plenty of spare beds in the cupboards for when you come and visit -
if you still want to!!! Hopefully we will have moved by then anyway.
