something i have forfotten to blog, as i've been too busy thinking about other things: we have a new bathroom! or i guess "bathroom" would be exaggerating a bit. the correct term would be something that meant "tiny room with a toilet in one corner and a shower in another". but as i don't know of such a word i call it a bathroom :)
the n helped us organise the renovation of the bathroom while we were in indialand. when we left we had a disgusting little room with a blue washbasin, a green toilet, blueish dirty floor and beige walls (that i guess had been white once upon a time) with flowers and stripes and big gaps in the corners. when we came home we had a room with a smell of new, with black floor, pale grey walls, a white toilet with a black lid and the cutest little white washbasin standing on a little cupboard. we don't have any electricity yet, though. so we have to use candles, which is only cosy. the best thing: the floor now slopes in the right direction, i.e. towards the floor drain. which means we can now have a shower without getting litres and litres of water under the toilet and washbasin. thank you n!
