Apartment hunting ...

This is the cathedral in Timisoara where Johanna is in final year of Medicine and Kenny has just started Economic Sciences. Kenny was one of the 3000 students who failed to get a place in the halls of residence (!) so we had to search for an apartment for him to share with three friends. Having finally found one and moved the boys in we discovered to our horror that the owners were having to sell the apartment and the boys could be given notice any day, depending on whether or not the new owners wanted to rent it out! So ... the search began again and today we finally found a new place. It's not quite as handy for him but it's bigger (the other was tiny) and very nice though unfurnished so we need to find some furniture for them.

While I was doing the rental contract with Kenny, the owner and the agent Kenneth went to the airport to collect Fiona, the daughter of good friends of ours in Glasgow who has come to volunteer for a week.

This has been a very expensive month and we're going to have to go back to Scotland to work next month ... if we can fit it in between all the visitors who have suddenly decided that November is a good month for Romania!
