leaky

well, the disappointing news of the day is that our house is a leaky house so that’s made things a bit tricky.  as it stands i suspect we’d be unlikely to get a mortgage and things like house insurance would be tricky. we’ll get the proper written report next week so we can get a fuller picture then

i worked from home today to meet the building inspector and the evaluator, and to chat to an emigration financial advisor on the phone.  The morning was a bit noisy as the church ladies group was here. 

the rest of the day (when i wasn’t working) was been spent unpacking cupboards so the man could get in to the loft, repacking, tidying and getting ready for my mum coming tomorrow.

somewhere along the line i managed to go out to the church men’s group and jane took the girls to their swimming lessons/club and went to school.

this bird is a magpie.  bit larger and slightly different marking to the uk version.  but very similar behaviour apparently.  that’s all.
