Was it really Tuesday the last time I posted an entry on here? The week has absolutely flown. I’ve spent a lot of time working on stuff for renting out the flat. The whole of yesterday morning was gobbled up form-filling so I could get them in the post and back at the renting people by tomorrow morning.

I’ve only ever seen the whole rent cycle from the opposite end, when friends have been looking for places to live and been complaining about how much time they have to spend phoning and hunting and viewing and… form filling. I hope they realise it’s the same from this end, too.

Anyhow, I got the agent’s description through on Friday. It’s fairly accurate, although the pea-green bathroom has been optimistically described as ‘ivory white’, which sounds far nicer than reality. She didn’t take any pictures, though, so it’s all a bit conceptual - especially when you compare it to the full-colour alternatives on the web. Let’s hope the low price she recommended we went for - undercutting the rest of the market by about 10% - will be enough to overcome that consideration.

So now all I need to do is get the mortgage moved and I’m all set.

The rest of the weekend was spent kicking around near home. Went into town today, but yesterday went for a walk in the village. I’ve lived here four months now, and still barely know the place, so went to the library. It turned out to be about the size of a double-garage, and had probably no more than 500 books. A small school could have done better.

I was in and out in less than five minutes, much to the disgust of the bespectacled women behind the counter.

The whole place smelt of old age.
