This is the Flat That Jack Built

...or more accurately, the flat that John and Sarah Beth waited a really long time to move in to.

We harassed the rental agency again today and were told that the flat failed its gas safety check. They had to order a new valve which will arrive (and hopefully be installed) Friday morning. So fingers crossed, we can move in Friday afternoon.

Negative: We have to wait yet another day to move in to our flat.

Positive: We won't die in a gas explosion.

I have started compiling the list of American picture books I will be recommending to the Memorial Library. If you have a favorite childhood book or two you would like so suggest, leave them in the comments!
