Servants Quarters

Today seems to have been a bit miserable with regard to the weather, from what I could see of which isn't very much. The windows in the East Wing are set quite high in the wall. I once saw a TV program that said that working areas and servants quarters in country houses such as this had windows set high in the wall so that the servants couldn't look out on the gentry. So I'm thinking that the East Wing was the servants quarters once up on a time. The same also applies downstairs in the kitchen and the pantries etc. It actually suits my purpose as it means I can freely move around without fear of anyone peeking in on me. The fact that this room has a fireplace and a bathroom makes me think that it's a room that would have been occupied by one of the top members of staff such as a butler, housekeeper or perhaps even a cook.

Today I was able to find some places to email with regard to work. I have thought of a bit of a problem in that if they want to interview me and I then have to wait to see if I have the job, where do I wait for their reply?

The rest of my day has been the same as past days, I have a steady routine going, no interruptions from anyone so long may it continue.
