week 38 - autumn arrives

22/09/24

happy equinox everyone! autumn has truly arrived, gracing us with its natural beauty.

and... i'm so tired. the week overall was quite relaxing, mostly reading and getting back into some art, but the weekend was busy. we looked at an apartment (well, a tiny terraced house) and the owner was very nice and chatty and i'm very overwhelmed now. and then lots of walking around the area to check it out. so far (the last 2 years?) we haven't seen many flats we actually liked, so not getting to any further stage - invite for viewing, not getting considered as tenants - wasn't that big of a deal. obviously there could be many reasons why, but i can't help but feel people are simply prejudiced against eastern europeans. it seems it's almost impossible to get a decent place, nobody wants to risk it on you. and obviously we don't want to downgrade. if worse comes to worst we can always move back to poland...
