It's funny isn't it.
Best laid ambitions....
We were going to explode out of bed on Monday and go off to be action people, well so far it's Wednesday and we haven't.
Management to be fair has gone off to her forestry and she will be off auctioning later.
I am left here to figure out how to amuse myself for the day.
Option one is to sort the shower, this should be an hours entertainment I am very unimpressed with modern things. I put a new hose and head on that shower a mere 10 years ago and today it's broken. you cannot get the quality of materials these days...
I think also I might go and investigate more wood. See if the woodman is home and lay up a couple of tons of scrap timber.
The new Bedford is sort of a success, we are cutting directly off the back of the truck and have built a nice stack where timber can be piled and dried.
This all smacks of organisation
I think some of the listlessneess was down to more flurries of activity from the inastate agent, he seems touchingly keen that we complete a deal and sell.
That is all very well but all that happens is that she who does not do waiting gets really fed up and we all pay the price for that. She does not like uncertainty, true all round really.
The property market is still, despite what people are saying, all over the place.
Everything is still at asking prices based on two years ago. I am told by an insider that those who actually make a sale are usually taking a 25% drop in negociation. The problem has now become surveyors who have cost a few sales locally by slicing even greater chunks off what everything is considered to be worth.
If I had bought a few years back I would be beyond sick.
Think I will agree with management (always the wisest course by the way), pull the house off the market and start planning some works. Leave the property market alone for a couple of years, by then we will have lost all the foslings and most of our own children. We could downsize big style.
We'll start off by cutting 20 tons of wood. If we could get that far ahead we would be sorted for next winter - an ideal state of affairs!!
Otherwise, the situation here is lurching towards the critical, we have just about run out of wine and are reduced to drinking UK type coffee.
Ugghh.

off the Market would reduce the stress levels significantly and reduce the need for wine and coffee!...theoretically...Of course being less stressed would mean you would notice the deficiencies of what you have available to drink...probably very significantly!
