been and looked at a house.
Shopped.
Resisted making lots of jokes about poor Tim, given that he was stung several times by a wasp hiding inside a pair of pants. Ouch.
Got stuck on a motorway in traffic, so returned home via the scenic route through Rotherham. Ok, maybe not all that scenic.
Discovered that Small can sing, and that it’s rather pleasant.
Dropped in on Jan and Jonathan for a coffee, remembering to take chocolate, but forgetting other stuff I was supposed to take.
Put very tired children to bed.
To do:
Find kitchen.
Sort out clothing for next few days.
Write quick site report.
Move at least two sites between servers.
Eat more.
Drink more.
Put books back into diningroom, preferably in a way that I can continue to access them to continue to process them.
Work out plan for dealing with house.
Plan novel, along with place to write it. Thinking of using a tweaked text pattern that will give an excerpt per page, but display in chronological order rather than backwords, and I’ve found a script that will display wordcount per post. wrt doing the novel this year, last nights blogpost was 692 words, and I wasn’t trying for quantity then. So I think an hour or so a night, which I usually spend refreshing sage, or reading forums, and I’ll quite easily churn out 50,000 words. Whether it will be a novel that I ever want to show anyone else will be another thing entirely!
Find missing hoodie sleeve (anyone? Haven’t left it at yours, have I Helen? Or yours Kirsty? Don’t think I’ve taken it in anyone else’s house, except Jan’s and I’ve looked there already. Bother).
Paperwork.
Finances.
At some point go to bed.
Wonder where the weekend went. I know I spent a fair bit of it asleep, seem to be running with a residual tiredness level higher than you’d want really. Ah well, these things happen. It may be only Sunday, but roll on the weekend 😉
eta the house. Hm. Had potential, which is indeed a way of saying it needs some work. Biggest drawback as far as both of us are concerned is the lack of outdoor space. Big drawback, especially when you consider younger offspring, who just adores being outside. When we arrived off the path today it’s a bit sort of grey and windy, and the garden was very damp, but he really really wanted to be out there. Got to think quite hard about whether it would be fair to him to live somewhere where he couldn’t run about easily.

Well? What was the house like? Worth the trip? Or not?
Ask Sarah’s offspring about the hoodie sleeve – you wouldn’t believe where I’m finding stuff after her lot were here earlier. 😉
OY! I know nothing about nothing me!
not here
not here either. yeah, info on the house please!!
WRT outdoor space, we compromised madly on area and house in order to have a big garden and it has been worth it. Theres no way I think that we would have been happier with a bigger house but a weeny garden given the amount of time they spend racing up and down on scooters and playing football. Might not be what you want to hear but HTH!
agree – garden space, or v close access to park/space, and prepared to go a lot
We’ve always gone for house space over garden space on the grounds that it rains a lot but one of my wants when we buy up north is a bigger garden as I do think they miss out if they can’t scotter etc. OTOH, E, K and C quite happy with going to the park.
