Flying solo

Camera's never do any scenery any justice anyway unfortunately!! Even those pictures of the coastline in Donegal in my diary look fab, but still not a patch on the real thing!

Fingers crossed!!!

Flights all take off/land ok? Any news yet?

No.. <she said, a bit uneasily> But I'd have heard if something was still wrong this morning; no news and all that..

:think: Hmm, think I'd better get off here and sort out a spare bed in case DS4 decides to surprise me.

Good morning Diary and Dear Friends, :hello:

Just a quick catch-up here before taking CD and FD for a run on the beach (promised to CD for behaving herself yesterday, not that she had much choice )

**

Daft Dogs are all well today - CD a bit subdued after a day on the chain - and the Old'uns' paella has cooked while I've been writing, so I'll feed them before taking the younger two out.

Not heard anything from DS4 - expect he's enjoying himself in the city with his brother and they'll come up to the campo tonight.

**Topic removed due to family politics - apologies.

Hmmmmm decisions! decisions! Lots of thinking to be done Robin.

Company tonight

wow that is a hard one. I think you are in Ireland but not sure. Being an expat makes me completely muddled in these matters. Sending good vibes and the hope that someone who knows more than me comes along quickly!

*Robin*

Late update after a busy day; should be in bed now, but am so tired sleep is impossible. So it goes - not hoping for much of tomorrow.

Yes indeed, and today the dilemma has had a layer of looking at.

Yes! DS4 has arrived, full of plans and enthusiasm. It was a lovely reunion.

HAW is in Ireland. I'm in Andalusia. So yes you're right, we're both ex-pats at the moment.

Ok, I give in; bedtime.

Sorry I'm not much help with the property decisions, but I'm glad you have had a lovely time with DS4 Xx

I'd say don't get your arm twisted to buy the property, where's the sense in borrowing for something that will bring you headaches if you have no desire to live there yourself. I can't see any plus sides for you. I'm a great believer in making a positive / negative list. From here it looks like a long list of negatives, and no positives.

The extended family can't realistically force you, so maybe it's best to play on the "I can't make such far-reaching financial decisions whilst I'm coming to terms with PCs death".

Hugs, Satchmo x

Well put ...... honestly Robin, you've got enough to be dealing with just now without buying more properties / becoming a landlord etc!

There will always be another house down the road if that's the path that you're meant to take..... (I'm a firm believer in fate!)
