Settling in

Over the last two days, it finally happened. I moved out of my residence inside the hospital and into a new place, rented at £ 560/month, plus actuals on electricity, internet and water, plus Council taxes, at Victoria Mansions, a very clean, upmarket place just 3 minutes outside the main entrance of the hospital. I made the move with a professional person who moved everything for me in his van. It had taken me over 36 hours to put all my stuff into bags, boxes and plastic bags. Maqsood, or Max as he calls himself, was clearly astounded to see so much luggage from a "bro" as he called me. It was about 50-odd pieces of luggage. In the end, we forgot two boxes which I had kept in the kitchen. Be that as it may, I moved out with most of my goods on Sunday morning. Later, I returned to the room to access the hospital WiFi to do my work over the net and even slept in the old place on Sunday night. On Monday, however, over the day, I settled in. I had purchased some second-hand furniture from the British Heart Foundation Furniture shop at the Town Centre - and they delivered all the pieces today. 

It has been a very tiring day indeed, but this is my first ever entry on the blog from the new place, hence, I am feeling very happy. I will post pictures and videos of the new place soon, so please wait for them a little. I made some sheera today to start my kitchen activities. This is a traditional sweet halwa that is made from semolina. I used a sweetener instead of sugar. After this, I also made some potato and drumstick sabji. However, I decided to order food for dinner. As I write this, my food is likely on its way to me. 

That is all I have to write for now. Tomorrow, I expect my TV line to be installed. Later, in the first week of September, I will get my WiFi and internet. Today, I am using the net over my mobile to surf the net on the laptop (Mobile Hotspot).
