it was july 29th, 2013 that i signed a lease for my basement apartment, starting on august 1, 2013, after having reached an agreement, in principle, on the 26th.

i don't expect the situation to be much different: if i find something, it will be on the 25th or the 26th or the 27th.

....or even the 28th.

or the 29th.

let's hope it's not the 30th.

that's how this city works.
