Searching

Well, the week has gone by amidst a cacophony of coughing, anti-biotics, lozenges and syrups .... still coughing, but am more practised at it, so can cough through a range of three octaves now!

Seen a variety of potential new homes, although only one really hit the mark - absolutely fell in love with it ..... however, (sorry in advance fans) we just couldn't see ourselves living right next door to the QPR ground. So it's back to pounding the streets looking for suitable park benches.

Did manage to see the film 'The Queen' - marvellous performance by Helen Mirren and (I thought) excellent portrayal of the Queen Mum by a near neighbour of ours, the great Sylvia Sims. However - calling all dog fans .... at one point Her Maj at Balmoral takes the dogs - Black Labradors - up to the heather to join the (hate to say this) stag hunting party. Two dogs get put into the Land Rover, but three get out ... darned fast breeders these Labs!

Labrador Schmabrador - does it matter? Continuity freaks! They're as plentiful as pharmacies in Phrance - or estate agents in West London. Congrats on the quick sale and good luck with the hunting - not with hounds I trust.

And above all welcome to Blogland - it's been worth the wait.
