P&A on Saltspring Island: HOUSE- great show - scary finding one PLUS Marina Update

Okay so you're going to get bored with this topic but you have to realise it is all encompassing. It grabs you by the nether areas and it won't let go. Viewing after viewing. The whole homeless in SSI is too frightening. Although we have dear friends that have offered an oasis for us so we do not get to the point of having to make a panic decision.

So far we've got our star property - still under offer, the little buggers. Then we have our do uppers - renovation on this scale is somewhat daunting. Next are the properties that you could just move in and do the whole North America suburban life style thing.... how boring would that be? Can't see myself or Alan on the set of Desperate Housewives.... oh hang on we probably could fit in.... like the only gays in Wisteria Lane - well there is that one cute guy for who we could be role models (just imagine that) We'd be drinking dark rummies and coke on the porch in our Versaces... oh yes this could be the life. Plus we'd be on telly. Always wanted to get that far. Which brings me to:

AQUA magazine - a local lifestyle mag and who are featured under the home section? Yes it's the Hundred Hills guys P&A. Rather impressed how it's come out as a 4 page spread (not margarine darlings). It plays out our story and features the home well... shame it's done at the end of the era but at least these 2 media sluts have pulled it off. May chins wag and I am sure the Accommodation Group of SSI will be suffering from a jealousy of the highest level. Okay-sounds pompous but we are really proud of having the honour that a magazine of this quality would chose us from the eclectic array of homes on this island.

Here's a pic of what will hopefully be our next home:

MARINA UPDATE

Alan left for good this morning after having been told that he was going to be laid off during the summer. These people have shown their true colours in an Autumn array of evil. I just can't understand how they in one sentence say this and then in the next want to stay friends. Why can't people just get the point of what being decent to each other is about?

So I guess it's probably going to be reno - reno - reno - flip - flip - flip (almost sounds athletic) to keep earning the money this lifestyle of ours demands. Oh well - we should be able to do it and hopefully enjoy it. Meanwhile I'm taking a course in Voodoo - some people are not going to be able to sleep at night.

Lastly here's a picture with me and my girl friend Darlene. She's away at the moment but calls regularly. It was taken on the boat owned by the Marina people. Guess that won't happen again. As they say WHATEVER -LOOK AT THE FACE BOTHERED?
