This is a short video I took of the flat I was living in. Hopefully the file will load up properly.. you would never have thought that I worked in IT! I often think it's only a matter of time before someone realises I know nothing about computers and sacks me. Ahem.
Anyway, I lived in this flat with two other French girls. One of them was very highly strung and ended up leaving around March / April time, but the other one was a lot easier to get along with and I had a lot of fun with her. The flat itself was affectionately referred to as le bled (if you can't laugh, you cry. This has always been a strong belief of mine.) It had one 'radiator' in the entire flat, tucked away in a corner of the corridor where it couldn't heat very much at all, and in order to light it (yep, it was gas powered) you needed to learn a neat trick of twisting the switch, making a click, waiting five seconds, and releasing at a strange angle. There was also no double glazing.
In the summer the town was warm, but in the winter the temperature sometimes plummeted to -13 degrees... hardly surprising when you consider people go to Grenoble to ski, but it came as a bit of a shock to me!
From time to time I added little touches to the flat to try and brighten it up.
In any case there was a lovely view of the mountains from the balcony.
I guess I can't complain really! Well... actually I can. The landlord kept my deposit (two months rent). Still fighting to get that back. Damn.
