Weather - Sunny intervals 17C
After the dismal performance of the weather last Bank Holiday, today is relatively beautiful.
Nationwide have reported that house prices have dropped 4.6% in the last year with May seeing a drop of 2.4%...... which is nice!
Still as quiet as ever with four viewings today. However, there are also two valuations being carried out today and I believe a few properties coming on next week. Currently we have 43 properties on the market. David wants to raise that to sixty. Now all we have to do is sell the bloody things! Just had a chap register with us with the longest name I've ever seen. Reckon he's probably Sri Lankan or something. You'd be a winner at scrabble with it, that's all I know.
Town's definitely busier than last Monday (which isn't saying much), but there's nobody coming through the doors. David's gone to lunch and Anna's out on a viewing. She's left forty minutes early because she hasn't seen the house before. Forty minutes? She'll be round it in five! Anyway, that's the way Anna does it. She's making me coffee now so can't be too harsh on her.
I'm off to do a viewing in a few minutes, apparently a second viewing with the woman having put in offers on about another four properties so I'm under orders not to take any offers as she's a little bit flaky. Lost her husband a while ago and very insecure apparently.
Asked David about doing leaflet drops and he's all for it so that'll be a bit of extra during the week, if he remembers. Think I'll email him mid-week to remind him.
Oh well, off to the final viewing of the day and then back home for some RnR. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it!
It's the end of May. June tomorrow, I wonder what this month will bring.

As is the way with these things, it's so quiet that I almost forget to do my time sheet and mileage for the week! Still raining but now I'm going to lock up having just taken a phone call. Typically the phone hasn't rung since lunchtime and as soon as I go upstairs to the loo someone phones!
Watching Bank Holiday drunkards wander/stagger past after an afternoon down the pub. Sounds like a good idea! Folder goes back in the cupboard, doors are locked, ansaphone on and alarm set. Let's go!

Wet Bank Holiday in Berko
Weather - 10C and very wet and windy
Sitting in the office, alone but for the sound of the wind whistling around the old building and the company of Aggers on TMS. Had a few visits and phone calls but mainly listening to TMS online through my headphones. Strauss has just been caught after completing his century. But now Pietersen should finish the job against the Kiwis. Sounds bloody windy up in Old Trafford! Pretty windy here as I watch the DD sign flying almost horizontally in the wind. The rain hasn't let up all day and anyone who has come in has looked thoroughly disheveled and fed up! I, on the other hand, am quite warm and dry. Oh dear, Pietersen's run himself out! The wife has just got home from Poole. It's taken her an age in the weather and what with the Bank Holiday traffic I don't think it's been an enjoyable drive somehow. Looking forward to seeing the baby boy, three days seems a long time without him.
Not a lot to see through the grubby windows apart from the odd bedraggled shopper dragging the family along the road. There aren't a lot of shops open apart from the main chain stores and they certainly aren't doing a brisk business. I think Laura Ashely is winning in the footfall stakes and God knows what people are venturing in there for! Perhaps they're offering free tea and coffee. Speaking of which I think that's what I'm going to do right now, after I've locked the front door. Obviously this will spark the rush of people clamouring to put their houses on the market. Well, maybe not. I think there have been a grand total of four couples in today and about the same amount of phone calls. One of which was Anna to see how I was doing. Bless her! It's like having a mum at work (or in this case on the other end of the phone), she does worry a bit.
It's days like this that leave you wondering what the future has in store for this branch although I don't suppose there's that much excitement in any of the estate agents in Berko today.
