Life

[wateroverstone]

 I thought that life was coming together last week. I found a very nice apartment in Whitehaven and had an offer accepted for it but when completion dates were discussed it turned out that my buyer had withdrawn her offer two weeks previously but hadn't notified anyone but her solicitor  so the For Sale sign is back outside my house and I'm back in limbo.
I had a very nice weekend in Scotland, though, playing Biggles Against Humanity and watching Hannay- has anyone heard of this series?We visited Montrose RAF MUseum, too: couldn't find the air raid siren this time but there is a wingless SE5 as well as the restored replica(?)Sopwith Camel now.
In other news I've managed to pull both my Achilles tendons  and have developed an infection in one leg. Best guess cellulitis. I have antibiotics and am thoroughly peeved with life. Eldest daughter is visiting from Tokyo any day now (she's not informed me of exactly when she's coming or if she's staying with me or her sister) as her mother I don't need to know these things because obviously I never do anything and am always prepared for a visit. Son will also be visiting but I know he's staying with his sister as her dog is friendlier than my cat.

Incredibly frustrating for you re house move, and so disappointing.

Pleased the Scottish weekend went well and that you are always prepared for offspring visits at a moment’s notice.

Wishing you a speedy and smooth recovery from injury and infection.

Thanks. I'm frustrated more than anything that i'm hindered from getting out and about. Offspring has been with her aunt for 2 hours who now has a migraine. She's rung to say she's staying with me so I better see if I have bedding for her or if it all went in the great premove clear out and I need to borrow from other daughter.

That's unfortunate -- best of luck finding another buyer. And I hope you feel better soon.

Naturally we all sit on our hands while waiting for someone to visit, with the house sparkling clean at all times.

ETA: Oh and I'm glad you enjoyed the museum!

Museum is great. Definitely worth a second visit. A lot of the emphasis is on WW1 and the early days of aviation.

Think daughter, who has rung to say she's staying with me, will be making up her own mattress as kneeling is hard due to the swelling in my leg.Her bed moved to her sister's house in the great clear out.

Oh no, what a saga you're having in the attempt to sell your house! Everything crossed that you will eventually get it sorted, and I hope your legs heal up quickly.

This all sounds terribly frustrating! I hope something will work out sooner rather than later.
