From the front that looks almost identical to our first house, except minus the paint and the outrageous price tag.:)
You enter via the kitchen?
The stairs appear to be in the kitchen too. Not good for cooking smells getting to the bedrooms, and not good for fire hazard either.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Have you been to view anything recently?
Talking of moving house... My brother is encouraging my dad to move sooner rather than later to somewhere much smaller and sheltered/supported, so that he can move and settle in while he's still got all his faculties and is reasonably able bodied. I can see this would be good for my dad, and I'll be supportive, but... it surprises me how scary I find the prospect of my childhood home no longer being there.

We've got some friends coming over in a few weeks for dinner and I promised them a proper English meal.
I'm going to do roast beef with yorkies, roast spuds etc for mains and bread and butter pudding/spotted !!!!!! for puds. Ideas for a starter please...?0 -
Nah - haven't been to view anything this year. Asking prices are getting a bit silly at the moment so anything new that does come on the market seems to be priced about 25% above what houses were selling for in the autumn. There is a house which sold for £690k last April which is on the market for £850k now- you can see from the old rightmove advert which is still online that they haven't changed a single thing. Three bed semis are being listed for more than any 4 bed house sold for last year etc. None of it is shifting but then you wouldn't expect much action in Jan anyway.0

Potted shrimp seems as stereotypical a rost beef. Will probably reply things all day

That was my first thought. Those small shrimps are hard to get in Sydney though.Would soup be the traditional thing?
It's unlikely to be soup weather. Aussies eat things like stew in the hot weather but soup is cold weather food only over here.0 -

Mackeral pate or salmon mousse?
A chicken liver parfait? ( makes meal a bit MEATY......but you know, its light )
....can you get watercress?
An iced soup? Iced watercress is yum, but iced pea and mint that's very minty is amazing IMO.0
