Our connection will be disconnected in an hour or so, no idea when I’ll be back on the ‘net in our new home.

All The Boring Details
My last post was somewhat brief, in an attempt to stop the flow of emails coming in to my inbox questioning whether or not I was still alive.. actually, that’s a lie, none of you gits showed an ounce of concern :( Anyway, I thought that now I have actually had chance to sit down […]
My New Home and Stuff
Tada! I’m not dead :D Indeed not, I’m afraid. Simply distracted by my new home. Karl and I received the keys — and met the landlord, thoroughly nice chappie — on Friday. We’ve been cleaning, sweeping, decorating and generally ogling. I am bloody knackered, my arms are about ready to drop off, and I’ve not […]
Moving House and Estate Agents
Some of you will probably remember that last month, I posted about the upcoming property searching that Karl and I would have to do. Well, shortly afterwards we went to see a small cottage about a mile and a half up the road. It was pretty, had a lovely garden and a shed. However, it […]
Looking For a Property
The contract on the flat (apartment) that Karl and I have been renting since October 14th 06 ends in April. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 18 months since we moved in, but more importantly, I can’t believe we’re deciding to look for somewhere new. The ‘problem’ as it stands is that our current area […]
Sunday, Day of Rest
It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, what your culture is or even your geographical location, I think most of the world treats Sunday as the ‘day of rest’. Most businesses are closed, shops have reduced opening hours and so on. In England, Sunday is also very widely seen as the day when all the […]
Answer Me This
Why is it that the area of the sink underneath our dish-drainer always seems to get dirty, despite the fact that the only thing that ever gets put on it is clean dishes? Our dishes are washed in very hot water so you’d think that the water would drip down from the rack and clean […]
The Strangest Thing
What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen while walking/driving down the road? See, being a place of interest my little village gets a lot of weirdos and other fascinating visitors… but driving home after feeding the guinea pig last night I certainly didn’t expect to see an armoured personnel carrier with tank-style tracks heading in my […]
What a Bloody Day
Today has been one bloody disaster after another. It’s taking all my might not to use the “f” word, I tell ya. First, we were due a flat inspection this morning at 10:30 (because we live in a private “managed” property). We got up at 8:30 to give the place a bit of a tidy […]
Another Cold, etc.
I’ve got another bloody cold. I’m hoping it won’t affect my testicles this time. None the less I’m playing it safe and drinking lots of orange juice (vitamin c ftw.) Talking of “ftw”, I’m thinking of making this ftw (that’s ‘for the win’) t-shirt my next syswear purchase. I think it’s only fair that after […]
