Mes premiers jours en Belgique

Four days in, and I remain filled with delight and excitement, although it must be admitted that there have been a few of the usual minor challenges you tend to get when moving into a new abode. The first of those was of my own making - namely that I rather foolishly ordered my big IKEA delivery to the entrance hall, and then had to lug somewhat over a quarter of a ton of furniture and sundries up to the fourth floor. ( Things going wrong... )

Despite these moderate inconveniences, I'm very much enjoying getting settled in. ( Things going right )

I am feeling on the one hand, very glad that I gave myself a decent amount of time between arriving and the course starting, because there is still rather a lot of admin to get on top of that it wouldn't have been possible to start from London, and on the other hand desperately impatient for classes to start.
