Today was the moving day from central but noisy residence to a sea-front residence on Seljavegur. Kristin told me that we could go there around 2 p.m. So, I did update this blog in the morning. Now, I have everything up-to-date!
I prepared the move by dragging my suitcase down the stairs. Surprisingly, its wasn't as tough as dragging it up. I hope I didn't damage the stairs.
Kristin called me sharply at 2 p.m. I was in a hurry so that I didn't have a chance to say good-bye to Sheryl. Well, it doesn't matter.
Thankfully, Kristin drove me to the residence, meaning no walking and dragging the heavy suitcase. On the way, she told me that there would be altogether 5 female artists in this residence, almost all in the same age. When we arrived at the place, another artist was waiting. Her name is Jovanna from the US. She seemed very young.
I carried again my suitcase to the 3rd floor where the residence is. The rest of this huge complex functioned as studios for local artists. I got a two-room apartment, a room of which is a studio. The common kitchen and living room got the sea view.
I tried to settle down by unpacking my stuffs and putting them into their places. Then, I walked to Kronan, a cheap supermarket nearby, against the strong wind. I dropped by at a hardware store and was fascinated by the selections. I found a variety of cooking grids for grills in different sizes and styles. As I haven't found any grid for my newly built grill, I thought I could buy one for it. Shopping food took long as I couldn't find some ingredients I usually bought in Helsinki. When coming back to the residence, I met Kristin and two other Irish artists, one is a man (I thought that Kristin might misunderstood the female-male foreign name). Anyway, the rest of the day devoted to cooking tortellini and updating the blog. Well, there was no point to go out because it had rained for the whole evening. The wind was so strong that I could hear very clearly the shaking street lamps. I didn't even dare to go out.
