The Flat.

My alarm went off at seven this morning, I had been told the night before to be ready for breakfast by seven forty five, and in the dinning room before eight.

After getting a wash and dressing I was able to see my room a little better than last night as I only have a bedside light in my room. Standing at the entrance looking into the room, The right hand wall has a window which is half let in to the roof as the wall is only around one meter high and then it's just sloping roof to the center of the room. Because of the way the window is built in to the roof there is a small alcove and in this recess there is an old wooden school type desk. That's all there is to this side of my room.

On the far wall is a door, opening this door leads out on to a metal fire escape, Ivan and Cindy's flat also has access to these stairs as does the lower floors. Along the left hand wall is where my bed is along with a bedside cabinet on which sits the lamp.

The fourth wall is not really a wall, it's simply a large piece of heavy fabric hung from the ceiling. It's then fortified by a large wardrobe, chest of draws and a wicker basket. To get in to the room I simply pass around the end of the curtain partition. 

Turn around and pass through the curtain you enter grandfathers room which is laid out much the same as mine except he has light hanging from the ceiling. Before I came his room and mine were as one room as he just lived here by himself. He also has a window the same as I have in my room.

Pass to the other end of grandfathers bedroom and you come to another partition. This one has more substance and is made of wooden boards and has a proper door in it. Through this door is the sitting room. Again is has a window let in to the roof in which there is a small table. In the middle of this room there is a couch facing away from the window as in the far right hand corner there is a cabin ate on which sits a TV. In the left hand corner along the same wall is chest of draws on which there is a kettle and a microwave oven. This back wall is the only wall of bare stone in the flat, floors, ceilings and walls are all lined with seven centimeter boarding, expect of course for the afore mentioned partitions. Against the stone wall there is a wood burning stove and this is the only source of heat in the whole flat. My room is therefore freezing cold.

Once upon a time these three rooms were just one long room until they were converted to be used as they are today.
