good point 2:10 am on Saturday, December 30 2006

I was grateful recipient of wise words today.  Wise, because they are true and it helps me to hear them

Expect nothing, but know that great things lie ahead for you.

There is greatness everywhere.  See it,  believe it, merry christmas and happy New Year.

cosy toes 12:13 am on Thursday, December 21 2006

Warmth. Mmmm.  Boiler is fixed and I have heat and hot water.  Lucky me.  Far more than so many people ever get.

impossible domestic bliss 1:25 am on Tuesday, December 19 2006

Boilers driving me mad.  Its mid-winter, I'm very cold.  This is a cosy house, a very cosy toasty one.  But with the boiler not doing what it is meant to be doing, I am living in a freezer.    

Roll on mister boiler servicer and fixer.  He cometh in the morn.

And I've been here merely moments.  But I am having such fun.  Beautiful candlelit carol service last night at which I initially felt alone but in no time at all felt a part.  Thereafter met a couple of great girls and we had the best night, talking about all sorts and enjoying my home. 

Bliss.

night shift 4:27 am on Saturday, December 16 2006

My hours have gone a.w.o.l.  Hey ho.  I am going to say good night, but will stand corrected by those who notice that in fact I should be saying good morning.

Never mind.. its just this once.  And in accordance with the rules of the weekend, when I thump the alarm clock and turn over for another hours zzz-ing, I won't be doing anything wrong.

Thereafter,  DIY will follow, I guarantee.  Love it!

spring cottage 1:09 am on Thursday, December 14 2006

Hello again, its been a while.  

But we have got here.  I - Alex, the business - Springback, and not forgetting the four-footed Aggie have moved in and it is good.  Okay, so today the boiler started to cause problems, the washing machine jammed, the recent weather is not ideal for moving to a flood-zone, and I still don't have broadband, but you know what, itll be okay, it will be more than okay.  Love it.

Spring Cottage, 16 Northbridge Street, Robertsbridge, East Sussex TN32 5NY.

Beautiful.  It doesn't matter so much that I keep getting lost in the back lanes, as in the end I know I will end up here, eventually - in a wooden cottage that I can call home.
