Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Hi folks Watty, I don't think tenants think of the health problems, they just think its *your* structural problem - thats changing, because of the publicity around Brittany Murphy etc, but as you know even I, as an owner occupier, have been pretty slow to take it all on board

When I rented out my London flat, while I went to live with my boyfriend, I came back to horrendous black mould in the bathroom - simply because the tenants never opened the bathroom window, it was vile. It disappeared as soon as I moved back in.

I never got to the fair today I wasn't kind to myself about the amount of sleep I had last night, and I felt really sick this morning. Pottered locally - took that posh library book back, the one about copywriting - turns out it was published in the 1950s, completely irrelevant to copywriting today :rotfl: it read like it was published in the 19th century so *really* not going to be useful

Just been catching up right now - including checking how the little kindle book is doing after being top spot in the email advert - one copy sold, is the answer :rotfl: its very interesting to see

Cup of tea, check the slots offers (finally!) then another cup of tea in the garden :j

Hi there, hope your weekend has been restful to set you up for the coming week.

:kisses3: Hello all! thank you **beams happily**

Thank you for your concern I had a while out in the garden yesterday, which was lovely - then today I *did* get down to the south coast, had a walk along the sea front and saw a guy using a jetfoil on his back to sort of dance above the water - when those peeps throw a fair, they really throw a fair

Went to see a trendy installation about water, in spite of bad online reviews, its in an old wholesale market, and I used to work in rooms above the market, so I wanted to mooch about anyway ... bad online reviews were kind, let's say :rotfl: . Just deleted a whole essay so lets say, save me, please, from conceptual artists too holier-than-thou to explore their work verbally as well as visually (i.e. write down what the bleep is going on ).

As ever, its saved by the Open Houses - local artists open their houses to tea and cake enthusiasts, while displaying their works - the skill, attention to detail and sheer artistry is inspiring :beer:

Popped in to a shop to discuss a future purchase, and found a real enthusiast - I felt bad about monopolising him (and the information was making my brain melt) so I started to pootle off, and he gave me next month's magazine to take away. Lovely guy, when I'm ready to purchase, I'll go there :j

And so pleased at Ed's news :A

I love art too. Now were in our forever home I'm keeping an eye out for pieces that I know I will look at and enjoy for years to come.

My dad always used to say that art is a sound investment............unless you get robbed! Lol

Hi Firegirl! Your dad had it right, I think Art for a forever home is a wonderful thing to be on the lookout for, thats lovely! I've looked at little woodcarvings in the past, or textiles I can hang on the walls - nowadays, it *has* to be items that I don't put on a surface and my sister collects modern low-number prints, which are really beautiful. Off to have a mooch at your posts, to see what you're doing :j

Got rain here, but I wanted to put some stuff through the w/m, so I've had to hang it up inside - as a compromise, I've got the windows on open on either side of it, and the rain's due to slacken off this afternoon, after a hooley.

To-do list to come

Thanks for the mention of Ed's news, KC. Didn't realise what it was but have just had a pootle round the forum and discovered his diaries. I'll look forward to reading them right through when I have a bit more time but I know I'll enjoy them as he has a wonderful way with words. As you do yourself, KC.:T

I'm so happy for Mr, Mrs and Miss Ed:beer:

I love wall art too but our damp problem means I can't leave anything hanging in the same place for too long or slight wrinkling occurs :eek:

Karmacat

I'm glad you found him, CBC, and thank you for the kind words :kisses3:

Your damp problem sounds *awful*, with that happening :eek: sorry to hear it

Just checked my main accounts I use all the time - current, easy access savings, and French current - English accounts are down by roughly the amount that I sent to France, though there's also a recent rent payment in the French money. Not too badly down, then.

Dishwasher's on. Off to check on elance now.
