    Seven hells! I got a "wow" from wendym (I think, whether you wanted to be or not, you have become my latest muse, hun)

    You may keep your orange presidents, GG, I want none of them.

    I love it when we descend into lunacy... I hope you don't mind, AC? How did the viewings go today?

    If Ted Hughes were still with us, he'd be kicking himself about his choice of Pike.

    I fear this conversation might help anyone applying for Power of Attorney.

    We really do want news from you, AC.

    I think the word parallel is unnecessarily flattering.

    Hmm - I think I'll take a parallel universe over the one we seem to be living in at the moment.
    AC -I hope you haven't been buried beneath dreaded paperwork. I think the fact that you are fairly set on a flat is ok (it your life after all, and at least you will be going in with your eyes open re service charges). I think if I were you though I would be looking at one bedroom places and try to save the extra cash that 2 bedders seem to be, and perhaps aim for more "living" space, and a separate kitchen - but that's because I like cooking spicy food and don't want to be sitting with the smell hanging around for the evening.

    I hope AC is not stuck in a different parallel universe from the one we seem now to inhabit.

    Well AC hasn't been on for a couple of days now, neither has his green light so he's not monitoring comment.

    I'm hoping he has gone through the budget exercise and sorted out some of the other essentials like job prospects as well as viewing the Poole Quay flat. Hopefully we'll find out later.

    Hope he's OK. Maybe he's out and about, viewing and doing. Hope so.
  • Hello everyone . It got a bit confusing above. Bagpipes/rodents etc.
    I went for a hot chocolate in Poole after my viewing . There was a man playing bagpipes there too. Surreal or what ?

    As I say , looked at the flat near poole quay . Not as nice as the flat I was renting in the pereguine when I first came here. More as a holiday flat, and too,small. Views not very good . So I won't be going for that.

    There's nothing else out there , so I'll have to sit it out for now.
    Pointless doing any kind of paperwork . Everything's in storage. I'm going to do lists though and watch the cash. I have a feeling that I may be in this flat longer than anticipated . Pointless getting stressed out about it. Life is what it is.
    Woke up for a couple of hours last night . My sleeping pattern seemed to be improving up,to that point. Don't feel groggy tho '. I started yoga via you tube this morning . First time in about 2 years. Not good. Persistence will,improve things.
    I have a visit from the landlady tomorrow , so,I've been thoroughly tidying up . She hasn't sent text yet, but she mentioned it when I was fitting the washing machine.
    Tomorrow I may go to Bournemouth or Weymouth .

    Hope you're all having a good day
