[My Own Stuff] What a penthouse!

Well, was at a house warming last night. The house to be warmed was actually a duplex penthouse, situated at the top of Jameson's brewary. Impressive as it sounds, it looked the part as well. The main floor housed the bedrooms, bathroom, kithcen/dining room. Also a huge balconey covering a wide area, which leads onto the roof garden. Up the winding staircase, we reached into a very large space, with an equally high ceiling. The ceiling tapered up like a circus tent, and at the top, it had some windows, sort of like a look out post. With the Christmas lights, and the mellow lighting, it was really nice and atmospheric (aside from the odd cheesy chrissie songs >-< ). That floor itself also has a "smaller" balconey. We went out to have a look, and the view was amazing, albeit a little chilly, impressive nonetheless. I have to say, this is what I expected to see when someone mentions penthouse, not a small top floor appartment tagged as being a penthouse. But I suppose, a price tag does come along with it. \(;*~*)/

But one thing I did not expect to happen was the fire alarm going off around 5am this morning! Some gobsh*te set off the alarm, and our block and the block next to us were affected. Funny thing was, we were just discussing the "joys" of living in an appartment, including the random false fire alarms going off, becuase of incompetant tenants.
