Sunny day

Weather - Sunny 23C

Wow, beautiful day, it is summer after all. The apartment at The Rex complex was indeed very nice. Alba couldn't work out how to get in, bless. It's an electronic key which you place up against the receiver and automatically opens the door. No keyhole at all, very confusing. Just as well I was there she said. All done out in Art Deco style. Two en-suite bedrooms and three toilets which was a surprise. That's almost as many as there are rooms. Nice and secluded as it's set back from the street and has a nice balcony for sipping cocktails on. And it's right next to The Gatsby (a swanky cocktail bar and restaurant), and the Rex cinema. I'll buy one (if I can raise a mortgage for a bit more then the there bed, four storey town house I'm living in at the moment)! I think it's about the classiest property we've got on and we only got it because Charles Bailey closed.

Des has gone to view the Sheilings which is a nice bungalow that has been on for months. I have lost interest and enthusiasm in showing it as no-one seems very interested and just nit-pick with every viewing. Probably better that Des shows it I think!

Euro 2008 started yesterday so my wife shall be a footy widow for a few weeks. The only interest I can really generate is by playing fantasy football against Jon. He's winning at the moment but there have only been two matches played so early doors yet. England are just about to tie up the series against the Kiwis (yes, I'm listening online again). Sounds like England could/should win by an innings. New Zealand have been a bit rubbish to be honest but hey ho! You can only play what's in front of you. There goes the last wicket. An innings and nine runs. 2-0 in the series. A spanking.

On the house front not much to report other than to say slow would be an understatement. No calls and no-one in for the first hour and a quarter. I'll keep you posted hour-by-hour so you don't miss any excitement. I say hour-by-hour but month-by-month might be more appropriate at the moment!

Think it's BBQ time tonight, I'll have to pop across to Tesco (if I have time), few cold beers, glass of wine that sort of things. Very nice too, especially when you don't have to work on a Monday morning. Tomorrow promises to be at least as nice a stoday so I'll get my walking shoes on and take the boy out somewhere to stretch his legs.
