Domicile

For your casual perusal: 



Walking in through the front door. What a judicious distribution of space / things!



Standing in the left corner next to the front door. Jeremy is in "the dock". 



Facing the kitchen, back to the stairs. We have a fridge, a stove, and load-bearing culinary imaginations. 



Facing the stairs, back to the stove. Jeremy is still in "the dock".



Up the stairs, to the sleeping loft! We shall conquer the world of dreams... together. 



Glancing back down, wondering whether Jeremy is still in the "the dock". Whether he knows. Etc.



Surveying the sleeping loft, criss-crossed by buttresses (purely decorative, jerk architects). 



Facing back towards the stairs (notice the window, which affords us unique roof access).



Back downstairs, at the front door. We shall go down the hall to the right. Together.



Facing the front door from the opposite end of the apartment. Bathroom now on right, window on left.



A pleasant window seat appears. Let's get him out of the way and have a look out. Together.



Nice! He did not have to fall very far, also what a pretty day. 



Peering into the courtyard. Audible yelps from below, curiously.



Appreciating the view. Can now hear sirens, wondering about the cause. On a nice day you can see the very face of God. Yelps continuing, commotion below, cause unknown.

Thanks again to Rachyl and co. for providing us with the camera that made this domestic photo-record possible. And my cold is finally gone! It is a good day for these and other reasons.

To Do

I'm traveling from Naarden/Bussum to Belgium on Monday. Things I need to accomplish upon arrival:


  • Procure temporary housing
  • Enroll, pay tuition
  • Register at City Hall
  • Open a Belgian bank account
  • Procure long-term housing
  • Sign up for orientation
  • Do a single, normal thing, just to prove to myself that it's possible
