Life in the big city

Saturday, August 29th, 2009 | Life

Got home last night to my apartment, casually wandered into the kitchen and took a look outside the window – to find the street below absolutely swarming with police.

Not just a few but dozens of them, half of them carrying machine guns!

There was a line of police cars and vans and the whole top of the street was blocked off as officers moved round a suspicious looking black SUV. Eventually some guys were brought over and the police got them to slowly open up the boot of the vehicle before inspecting it and then escourting it away. Crazy times.

Fingers crossed

I’m having a nightmare finding a new place to live at the moment, with the two places I have had lined up both being flooded and now my temporary house also has water coming through the ceiling. Perhaps God is finally going to reveal himself to me in the form of a second great flood in which I must build an ARC that is also a Tardis to accommodate two of each of the billions of species on this planet.

In any case I have found a place I rather like, so while I’m not holding my breath as given recent experience it is highly likely to go tits up again, would hopefully suit me quite nicely, especially given the central location, righr next to the Corn Exchange in town.

So, here’s to hoping. Pictures of the views out of the windows are below.
