The ladies not for waiting.

Mondays are normally a lazy sort of a day.

Kids off to school and then debate what high energy pastime to engage in, chainsaw the wood, wave the axe about, re lay the drive.

Sometimes we even get out of bed....

But today was of course a blur of activity as yet again the junk got hidden and things got bustled ready for viewings.

The viewees turned up bang on time with their tame architect and spent a long time wondering round and making plans.

Their plans are really firming up.

These guys are serious.

Of course at midday along came the next set.

Tyre kickers I very quickly worked out.

Wanted the house but wanted the work all done or maybe they didn't have the money and were dreaming.

Most likely I reckon they didn't like the fact the wind was blowing. Ahh yes, we want the country but don't want weather....

Thats the thing about country life, you get to be a lot more in tune with time and season than you are in town. At least thats my view.

I know summer, the sun sets way to the north across the mountains. Weak winter sun sets far earlier and way south. In town I rarely saw and often failed to notice the sunset in our neon street.

But we are in early spring, bizarre, this is at least a month too early.

Yes, last year we had snow about now, this year the daffs are coming but a month earlier than they did about 10 years ago.

Could be a fluke or could be global warming.

Daffs are great though, I have been planting daffs here on and off for 15 years and they pop up in banks and patches where I have stripped the odd bit of land and simply popped the bulbs in.

Now we have willow too. Willow is fantastic stuff, you just stick it in the floor and it grows. Then you chop branches off and they grow too.

If we go I might cut some of our willow, just to establish continuity.

And as for the sale we are waiting for an offer, that poker playing act casual time,the lady does not do waiting she wants to know and now.
