The house saga continues and we have now found a mews house to rent in the area where we want to live and are moving up on the 12th August. Yikes! So soon! We have given the seller an ultimatum, that we must complete by 10th December or else we have to look at alternatives...
In any case, we have a roof over our head and a move date. The sale here is progressing and fingers crossed all is well and can be concluded soon.
Last Friday was Vera's summer party at nursery and she was her true energetic self, wearing a home made tail and an Indian headband. Loved having us there! We're making the most of the weather with BBQs so had one on Friday night. On Saturday, we took off early and went to to Sheffield to look at houses. Tough in 30 degree heat so we stayed over night and after the house hunting, checked into a hotel, got upgraded to a suite! and enjoyed a nice meal and a cool glass of wine and a large beer on Leopold Square.
Got back Sunday early afternoon, in time for another BBQ and a frantic baking session for me as I had promised to bring some baked goods to work for a charity bake sale in aid of cancer research (all my cinnamon buns sold!)
On Wednesday I went to dinner with some dear friends, two of whom I did my Management diploma with. We went to Las Iguanas and started off with a Mango Collins cocktail, followed by a yummy Brazilian fish and prawn curry for me. They gave me a farewell card and present. It's starting to hit home now...
Last night we went out with work and sat in the beer garden at the Cambridge Blue. It was a glorious warm evening in great company with colleaues past and present.
Vera is keeping us busy! Last night she thought it was fun to put grated cheese up her nose and preceeded to sneeze cheese for a while. Part of exploring I guess. Just before 8 o'clock, she declared to Mark "me tired. Me bedtime". She's the best!
