The Old Lady

Back!

We had totally amazing weather in Ireland. It was so hot that the water supply to our little cottage ran out and we had this dreadful emergency supply that actually smelt of metal! But apart from that we just enjoyed walking in the amazing countryside (it really is so very beautiful there) and reading lots of books (and even the daily newspaper which I definitley dont get time for back home).

On return the bank's valuation of the house we are about to buy looks good so it is all systems go on the moving front (despite certain people saying that this isnt a good time to buy a new place we dont necessarily agree and are going ahead anyway!). Really cant wait to be honest. The jams coming back into London on our way home from the airport just told me once again that we are doing the right thing to be moving out into the 'burbs!

Anyone out there got any interesting news that I have missed? (I read the most recent Harry Potter book and thought it was good!). We are going to get around to seeing the current film (the third one) soon. Also- more book recommendations- the Alexander McAll series of the No1 Ladies Private Detective Agency is just brilliant. I have read four of the five in the series and cant wait to get my hands on the last one !
