Au cinqième étage
The latest acquisition of a bin sees us well and truly settled in to our new apartment, about which a few teasers have been dropped, but about which no proper post has been dedicated. Time to change that before everyone who reads this site has already stopped by for a visit!
As I've mentioned before, we are now on the fifth floor, which gives us lovely views of chimneys and french construction workers across the courtyard. Some things don't change however- we still have slightly psychopathic neighbours and mysterious toilets in the stairwell. We have two lovely rooms plus a bathroom (no stairwell toilet for us!). We have an amazing combination of microwave, convection oven and grill into a piece of superiour kitchen technology (Ham and cheese toasted croissants! Roast chicken! Apple pie!). Also a desk! A coffee table! A folding sofa bed that is not our bed! BBC and CNN on the TV!
Enough exclamation marks! Here are the photos!
Our lovely kitchen, complete with washing machine and a bin - a present from Alex G. Thanks!
Alex putting the high-tech oven/microwave contraption to the test - surely anything that advanced doesn't require eggs to be actually taken out of the box?
The living room from the doorway to the bedroom, with our still-alive plant. Thanks Annika!
A bedroom with a bed that doesn't need to be unfolded, what a luxury. Thanks to mum and dad for the new stripy bed linen, a birthday/moving-in present.
Bedroom again, showing the location of the bathroom and our desk from which I am currently typing. Note also the extremely fluffy grey towels- a present from Annika- Thanks!
Said bathroom, showing bathroomy things.
Construction and chimneys, what a view!

Nice place! It looks like it's been newly renovated?
I agree with Alex... who needs to take eggs out of the box to cook them anyway?! That's just completely wasted energy!

Wow! So much larger than the last place! This one took 7 photos to thoroughly explore, while the other one took only 5 (and I think some of those were superlative quite frankly!) Well done!
I can say as an actual witness tot he splendor of this apartment - it is a bright, clean and very well located little place combining all the comforts of home with all the fabulousness of Paris.
My memories of the place are nothing but fond!
