ok, so now the house will be ours, but only by the 6th of September. Then we've got Pan Sylwester (who did up the wife's Poli Gojawiczynskiej flat some years ago) to do up the place.
We're going to just paint the place and also remove the bidet and put in a second toaleta in a corner of the bathroom (two toilets is always a good thing). I have spent the last month searching for furniture, mostly at Centrum Handlowe Marki, Leroy Merlin etc. I think we've chosen the best tables, sofas, beds etc and surprisingly the best were about mid-price range.
Getting lamps and kinkiets were the biggest pain. Women have very definite ideas about what they want and well I agree with the wife that a lot of the kinkiets etc. are just plain ugly.
We still haven't decided on the side kinkiets for the bedroom.
We got a lot of my wife's stuff from her sister in laws in Torun (she had moved it there before coming to Bombay last year) and also my sister in law's bicycle (yay!).
Yesterday was the wedding anniversary and we went for a nice podwieczoraj at park Łazienki followed by a walk in the park and ending with mass at the parish we got married in (MBK Polska on Gdanska). Nice coincidence was meeting the waitress (who was at our wesela w restauracji Pod Gigantami) at park Łazienki. She seemed to recognize us.
We ended the evening still at Kredytowa (we wanted to celebrate it in our own home, but that wasn't to be).
