My funny mind.

We bought a flat in Munich and have been in it since September. We have a parking spot but the garage is being renovated until the end of this year. No big issue as we don't have a car except for the noise.

Our complex is currently repainting and sealing the outside walls of our building. That is a good thing. There is a schedule. Germany after all, there is always a schedule... The painters are doing our wing a week or so before the listed schedule. The walls have been done but they haven't as yet finished the panels separating our balcony from the neighbours yet.

So they are a WEEK AHEAD of schedule for my section and I'm chomping on the bit to have them finish up. I keep looking out the windows and wonder why they haven't gotten to my place yet. How sad is that?
