I think our apartment now fully qualifies as charming. In addition to being of brick & flint construction and being surrounded by verdant countryside, on Monday we had 3 pheasants in the front garden. One who seemed keen to see what was behind our partially opened front door.
I've been suffering with insomnia since I got here. I first blamed all the tea, then the bed (bought a memory foam topper, even though we have a memory foam bed in transit.) Nothing seemed to save me from nights of tossing and turning, accomppanied by hot/cold-sweats.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that British Telecom has notoriously bad/unreliable customer service, the Royal Mail delivered our internet access gear as promised. We plugged it in, and hazah! We had internet. The integrated WiFi/ADSL modem is a bit lame (can't change SSID or WEP key) but it was working a few momements after it was plugged in.
Interestingly, last night I had the best sleep since I've been here. I could have blissfully slumbered for another 3 hours if not for work. Clearly, I was suffering from a lack of WiFi at home.
