I'm back!

Petrol 116.9p/litre

Well I never, the petrol has gone down for the first time that I can remember. I know it's not going to beat the recession in the long term but it's a welcome bit of relief anyway. Morrisons are selling at 113.9/litre. Not sure sure how long that will last. Just wish some other prices could mimic that. I don't ever remember seeing anything go down in price once it's gone up so petrol is probably on it's own (damn, now I'll have to see if there are any other examples of price drops other than interest rates).

It's bloody hot today (27C), as it has been for the last week or so except today I'm not in short and flip flops but rather shirt and tie. Not really the attire for the weather. So I miss one weekend and come back to find that properties have been sold. Not, like, loads or anything but four. And that's four more than for the last couple of months at least. And we've sold Hall Park which didn't look like it was ever going to go. Sold for £627k. Nearly £100k under the original asking price at the beginning of the year. Bet they're well chuffed with that!

Just been to show the Hawoods round the retirement home that they're buying. She's very excited about it. Him not quite as much. Hopefully the sale of their house will proceed without too many hitches as this is about the third time they've 'sold' it! Thery just need to get out of their house because they can't manage the stairs. Shame really, they've been there for 48 years....
