Today wasn’t much of productive day. I have a terrible sore throat still today and Brandon seems to have come down with something too. But, we powered through and got a little bit done. We sat down with a representative at a letting agency to see if they could find us a flat. Only thing is, there are a lot of extra charges involved when you use one of those agencies. There will be a 270 pound fee to do a credit check. And mandatory insurance fees and an extra 100 pounds on top of our first month’s rent and damage deposit. Plus, they only had 14 properties to show us on the computer and all but one was over our budget. We walked away feeling rather discouraged. We have an appointment on Friday to see one of their flats, but Brandon’s also been busy trying to set up some appointments on our own as well.
After our stop in the agency we toured the City Chambers building at George Square. It was fabulous. Marble and wood imported from all over the world and amazing paint and architecture too. We got some really great photos here and I’m so glad we waited around for the tour to start.
We came back to the hostel after that and I napped for a few hours while Brandon researched flats and then went up to the piping centre. He got a good practice session in and figured out how to go about getting some lessons started.
When he got back and was feeling so bad, I put him into my spot in bed and headed out to the store. I got groceries for supper and when I got back, we cooked supper and since then we’ve just been relaxing in our room. Hopefully tomorrow we’re both feeling a little better.
