Well it’s been a while since I was last here. I have thought of a lot of things to write over the last couple of weeks but really lacking in motivation.
House:
It’s all stop now, we rushed like mad to get it all ready for
the bank holiday weekend as the vendors had asked. Then they phoned
to say they had just got the survey back on the place they were
going to buy (only took them six weeks!) and there were some
problems. The upshot of it all is that they can afford to buy the
house and do the repairs and the idiot that is selling it is not
going to shift on the price. On the plus side they have found
another place and have had an offer accepted. We now have another
three to six week wait for all the surveys and searches to be
completed. There is no chain involved beyond the three of us so we
are hopeful that it should not take to long.
Roadworks:
They have started to do some barrier replacements on the main road
into Sheffield. Good: They move the cones out of the way during
rush hour. Bad: They have approx 2 to 5 people working most of the
time!
Summer:
Well the summer is starting, the sun is out more and stays up
longer. Time to dust off the camping gear and head south. Fun and
japes to be had by all, I can’t wait. Rob and Jamie went down
to Newquay this weekend and we were really jealous. We should book
up with Guy soon or we will be looking for a new venue! I just want
to get away with some good friends and forget all this house
rubbish.
Badgers:
Ever wanted to have a go at installing
Linux?
