Untypical

In a week or so we will have our second annual meeting in the building association. Already (!) we have received the actual cost with a comparison to the budget. Overall it is not a bad outcome, almost spot on but the individual charges vary quite a bit. Turns out that we in the house use more than 60% less cold water than planned. This doesn't mean we use more warm water, but that we use less water overall. No wonder, since we only have one kid in the house and responsible people like myself (!) have chosen not to have a bath tub but showers only. Higher charges are for heating, which all of us think is too high anyway. We cannot really regulate it individually in our apartments, since it's done centrally. I cannot, however much I try, get the temperature lower than 23°C in my living room. This will be discussed at the meeting, I can assure you. And I very much like the fact that we are an untypical type of people. No wonder I feel I belong here!
