Well, we did have a lead on a new home. But someone put a bid in first, so, POOF, now we don’t. I have mixed feelings. I really hated the location, if I’m being honest, so in that sense there’s relief… on the other hand, we’re still very much stuck here. *sigh*
However, we have spotted another suitable property, advertised today. The asking price is slightly lower than the last one, and even better, the location is preferable (not ideal, but definitely preferable). More news on that soon, I expect. I’m taking nothing for granted, but keeping my fingers crossed.
Reading… after finishing Stephen King’s Bag of Bones (the end was pretty good, thankfully), I’ve decided finally to tackle his monster of a book—The Stand. I’ve had this lying around for ages, daring me and daunting me. It’s almost 1,500 pages, so not a quick and easy read. I’m about 200 pages in. I’m enjoying it a lot. It’ll keep me off the streets for a week or two. (Go and read the Kevin Quigley review if you want more info.)
This week has been boring on the whole. ‘Nuff said.
