WE'VE DONE THE DEAL DARLINGS

That's Hundred Hills gone -deal sorted so we can move on - however, the house we wanted fell through because of some very strange bank issues. Foreclosures are an odd thing to try and buy. But then another place with even a better view of ocean has come up and we've got an accepted offer and week to put things together.

I can't get over how stressful this has been though it's one way to lose weight and one's mind. I have even noticed that my hair has thinned (oh really) and become greyer; I even had one of those dreadful pins and needles sensations up the arm thing but its gone now. Two glasses of white wine and I was fine. I really should recommend this medicine to the local cardiac department - or maybe not I'll keep it to myself and of course to my dear readers.

New house here's some pics - its not particularly pretty but there's great potential so that will be the next adventure to change the slightly ugly duckling into a desirable swan.

Of course we've got to do all the necessary "stuff" I really hate "stuff" it's irritating.




So the date of getting out of here is the 26th and hopefully we'll be able to the arrange the deal on this place for the same day. Reminds me of the time we move from Mayo Road to Squirrel Corner England we were in Alan's parents back garden with everthing we own in a truck and no keys when someone came out and said the deal had fell thru. I assure you they are lucky to be alive. Regardless it should come together and if it doesn't I've decided that I will put on a Croatian Army uniform and sort some people out. Of course I would need to change my name to Paolovaiscic or some like that. Then I'd march around looking really important and later in the game the UN would take me to the World Court in the Hague and I'd have the world stage to play with. Dear me - I can really lose the plot sometimes - we are just talking about buying and selling a house!

Updates to follow and thanks all for keeping up with the bizarre little guy on SSI. Alan just shakes his dear head in disbelief.

Sunrise on Saltspring 29 Dec 2006
one very rare morning

Noose around the neck and morning rises

So they did it. Terrified an entire nation killed the bad guy and taught a world how to hate. Well done my fellow North Americans.

However on a brighter side the show yesterday morning created by nature was inspiring. The camera shot below isn't the best but it gives the essence of the event.

It's Saturday afternoon and Alan's out trimming our rather pathetic fruit trees - I believe I'm suppose to join him but I am holding out with excuses of laundry and a dodgy back.

Celebrated Dale's birthday yesterday - Richard does know how to offer up the meat selection but it was all rather tasty. Night before last we were honourable Edmontonians (Alberta). I believe you have to go to cackle school to actually be a full member. The night succumb to schmoosiness when the hens decided on booking tickets for Il Divo. Now if you have n't caught these guys please check out this site:

I would actually like to be one of them but they say I am unable to carry a tune ( smallish hand bag issues) I didn't really think that was a problem - I think they just don't want balding guys in the band. It's so petty.

Always,
