4th of January Blog update
The New year is here and I am back in Dublin. Call me crazy, but my apartment is freezing… I only heat the bedroom and my office when I am recording there. The living room/ kitchen is cold… I live in an apartment that looks fancy, but it is pretty impractical in real life. It was built in the beginning of the housing boom here in Ireland when what we call cowboy builders threw up the apartments at ridiculous speeds and cutting corners where ever they could. It is lovely on summer time, but in winter the heating system combined with the lack of proper insulation makes the living room crazy expensive to heat. So every winter I tell myself it is my last winter in this apartment, but by the time Spring comes along, it is easy to forget about it all 😀 Besides the location suits me right now. So my excuse is that I a doing my bit for the environment 😉
Anyway, enough about my cold house. I had a busy week on my blog even with all the festivities of the new year, so let’s get straight into it.
