If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete

I'm finding less time to update my blog these days, but my flickr photostream is often updated.

Playing in my house right now...

At 00:00 GMT on Thursday I was listening to:

Hazel-o-rama and I have been looking for a new ranch for some time, so that we can stop shuttling between each other's flats, and the cat doesn't go in the huff. After two failed attempts, being second in the running both times and missing out by £35,000 first time and then £25,000 second time, we've had success. We won by 0.000453%, which is quite a narrow margin.

Keys will be collected mid-January, and then we need to overhaul the mains electrics, review the central heating, make a few small structural changes, install a kitchen and completely redecorate. I'm not posting the new details here, but drop me a mail if you'd like to see the schedule.

In the meantime, if you know of anyone looking for a lovely two bedroom flat in Morningside, in a quiet cul-de-sac, handy for Waitrose, Marks and Spencer foodstore and buses, let me know.

Champagne all round!

Congrats. Of course, you realise that with your % you have just given away how much the flat cost you. Expensive, but not bad compared to London prices.

Granty, only certain people know what that percentage equals in money terms. ;-)

Expensive, very correct. You do get what you pay for, though.
