On wednesday our stuff arrived minus boat and car which are still stuck in customs. I was right - the flat is way too small. It was very chaotic when they tried to fit everything in and un-pack. We still have probably 50 boxes left to un-pack but we are getting there. I found one I had not un-packed since I left Sweden in 1999, so probably don't need the things in there. However it is nice to sleep in a bed and sit on a sofa and have a table to put things on. There is no room for a dining table so happy we did not ship that. We will have all our dinner parties on the balcony.
In the middle of un-packing and cooking of dinner the firealarm went off. I am sure it was not me, as I had to disable the smoke alarms early on in order to be able to cook dinner each evening ;-). We waited for a while and looked out from the balcony, but could not see any smoke, but as it did not stop we went out in the lobby where we met our neighbours. The guys at the fron of the building could not see anything either and just when we decided to go back in, the speaker system told us to evacuate. We thought of taking the lift, but in the end decided to be good and walk down the 19 floors.
around floor 13 we could no longer hear the alarm, so got out to the lobby to take the lift back up. The lift was full of firemen who asked if we had a swipe-card for the 20th floor. We offered to take them to 19 and they could walk one. Scary, what if there really is a fire on a specific floor and the firement can't get access?
