Even though you might think that this is a mistype for “more on parking”, and even though you might think that “more on parking” might be appropriate, I can assure you that I meant what I typed.
That’s because, further to my post of yesterday, we have three morons now taking up the space that any four real drivers would take up.
It’s certainly exciting, watching the unskilled of Brussels try to cope with modern-day technology.
But one thing that we must never lose sight of is that the driving test wasn’t introduced here until 1973, and there are all kinds of jokes about driving licences being given free as promotional offers in boxes of cornflakes and the like.
But anyway, this morning it was for some reason or other a struggle to leave my stinking pit but eventually I struggled to the coffee machine.
After that, and the customary hour or two on the computer, I attacked the apartment and you might find this hard to believe but it actually looks like a normal person’s living space and I’m exhausted.
Even the kitchen has been steam-cleaned and that’s a first since I ended up on my own here.
Tomorrow I’ll be giving everywhere a quick whizz round and then making a whole sheaf of adverts for distributing everywhere. I need to start moving on all of this furniture and stuff.
But like I said, there doesn’t seem to be any rush. This apartment isn’t going to sell itself very quickly
Have you considered renting it instead of selling it? Rent it out to La Belle de Jour :p
If it’s not sold by the time I come back from Greece then that will be an option. The problem is though that there’s a rent to be paid on the place for another 3 or 4 years as Marianne held it on a 20-year “viager” and that will eat into the profits.
