Patience is a virtue...
...that I am sorely lacking right now.
No, the flat's still not ready.
A combination of leaky radiator pipes and walls that were even more crooked that we thought to begin with, has turned our few days at a friend's place, into a few days at a friend's place followed by a few more days at another friend's place, and a 'do you mind if we stay a little longer?'.
The lack of internet is annoying, the living out of suitcases is uncomfortable and the argument that plenty of people are worse off than we are; at least we have a roof over our heads, has stopped having any kind of effect.
I just want to live there. Now.

Oh, it is a shitty thing to have rennovations at your flat. Very, very, very. I don't think people really know what it's like unless it's happening to them. And then, just like the pain of childbirth, they seem to forget it.
I feel for you and wish to offer bucketloads of sympathy. Hang in there!
When I spent a summer in Krakow, I remember having to walk a plank over the floor tiles for a week. Something about them setting properly.
Hang in there, champ. This too shall pass.
