Moving to Sugarwell Court

As we had to move out from the Kirkstall Tower Flat, Lena did not yet want to move into the new home - this house did not yet have any furniture as our stuff was still in transition from Thousand Oaks. Also there was no phone nor internet yet. So I arranged for a brief intermittent stay in another of the Leeds Met residence halls: Sugarwell Court. This facility is located in Meanwood, in a neighborhood not as nice as Kirkstall: industrial areas around, as the compound itself was also an old factory from the 1860s.

Nicely renovated, but the flat that was available was not as nice as the Tower Flat: it was almost in a cellar, and had a bit of a moldy smell when we moved in. No phone was there, and no internet. After a week, the internet was set up, but it was working only spottily - every few minutes the connection would go down. Well, better than nothing. We could stay there for 2 weeks, before someone else would move in that flat as well. But this gave us a bit of time to buy some basic things for the new home. It took me 5 rides with the Ford Granada, to get all the stuff from the Tower Flat into the new temporary residence.
