Whilst RW is now back facing the English squalls and showers - we are swapping to go to the Canaries, albeit Tenerife - not Gran Canaria - but the same sunshine hopefully.
My croaky chest needs it and K's exhaustion demands it - too many 0430 starts recently has drained him .. and who says a Tube Driver (sorry - ' Train Operator') doesn't earn his money whilst ferrying you all about. It's not their fault there are signal failures, over-running engineering works etc etc ... but they always get the blame.
Flat pristine again - new/under offer owner had asked if he could 'pop in' to have another look ( + brother & girlfriend). Good to meet him - nice guy, with the obvious same 'feel' and enthusiasm for the place that I first had when I viewed it 26 years ago! Even though we've not found anywhere yet, I feel happier knowing that the 'right' person has found and loves our place - now how sentimental is that! AND, he knows that we are actively looking but haven't found anywhere to move to yet - and is happy about that.
Strange coincidence though: .. when I was originally looking I 'viewed' a place on the same road, hated the flat but loved the road/area - went straight back to agent and said so, - was told .. well, there is another place 'opposite', he's not expecting viewers but you could try .... went - got in - fell in love with the place, made an offer the next day. 26 years later, a young man walks into an Estate Agent and says: I'm looking for a ......... in this area, do you have anything interesting? Well, as it happens, there is a 'viewing day' going on at .... if you want to go round there I'm sure they'll try and fit you in .... He went round - saw it - fell in love and put in an offer the next day! ....
Bi folks ... IF there's anyone out there ... back in a week. xx

Yes, I'm here reading every word. Hope you've both come back from your holiday refreshed and prepared to kiss a few boxes before you find your dream home.
