Dag 378: Life in the slow lane

Last evening I watched The Missing. Reading the back cover it sounded like the ideal film for me to watch for the mood I was in at the time. It involved somebody who was seeing a therapist after her son was killed in a plane crash, but the therapist says she has invented the son and he never existed. I knew the film had a twist in it and when it was revealed it certainly was not what I expected. I won't spoil it by saying what it was, but the film did go down hill a bit when the twist was revealed (although it was still ok). There were two points in the film where I literally jumped out of my chair, which gives it a few bonus points.

As mentioned previously, I am being kicked out of my Scottish residense on 1st April as my land lady is returning from Australia and wants her house back. I have been torn between getting another place close to work or getting somewhere in Edinburgh. I am not the best person at making my mind up about things, but I started looking at flats near to work last week (in person) while looking for flats in Edinburgh on the internet. I saw a place near work last Friday that was really nice, but I also found a flat in the Grassmarket area of Edinburgh (so it was pretty central) and came with a private parking place which made it even better. I had the weekend to think it over. I decided I wanted the flat in Edinburgh, but Monday came and I thought about how if I took the flat in Edinburgh I would need to arrange to go and see it one night after work and it would mean driving all the way in and then I'd need to get a move on to get it all sorted by 1st April and moving my stuff might have needed more than 1 trip and so I ended up taking the flat near work out of sheer laziness. It is really nice inside and has nice views out over parkland at the back, but I can't help feeling a little disappointed that I was too lazy to go for the one in Edinburgh. Maybe when my new land lady comes back from her trip abroad (there seem to be a lot of Scottish ladies going on trips abroad just now) I will still be working on this same project and maybe I will have got my act together enough to make the effort to finally move into Edinburgh. Or maybe things will go even better and I will finally get to make my dream of moving to Sweden a reality instead.
