I recently started writing again. I have in no way finished editing the novel I wrote a few years ago and I really need to get around to that, but it does feel good to be writing again. At this moment I am sitting in my lounge with an ale next to me, the atmospheric weirdness of Skuggsja on vinyl playing and a short story 2800 words in. Thinking I'll create an anthology of short stories and self publish on Kindle for like 99p or something.

Finished tearing out everything in the new appartment. Now it's just bricks and concrete and windows (though we left the bathrooms untouched). It feels great being done with everything we can do. Now it's up to the workmen to smooth and paint the walls, place the floor heating, re-touch the electrics and such, and then we'll come back in three weeks (hopefully) to put the floors in place. Then It'll be the kitchen, and we're done. More or less.

Hey Mezla, Facebook just reminded me it's 12 years since the "Facial Love Handles" Manchester meetup with Brood, Stone Monkey, Grumble, Cougar and Dag. That was a fun one.

There are 2 things wrong with that post.
1. It can't be 12 years because I'm still under 30.
2. They are called Buggers Grips! How many times do I have to tell you?

Good times though
Edit to add - making me happy? Proper rain for the first time in about 2 months. My garden was dry and I refuse to water it in April. Weird ass weather so far this year. I need to get a proper water conservation system going for the run off from the roof.

It's going to happen. I'll eat my hat if it doesn't.

Finalised a promotion that has been in the work for two months. I'm already doing the actual work so it's going to be nice to have the title and pay for it as well.

Opposite for me. We still have issues with the gable end of the house (pointing is on to be done somewhere in the next four weeks) so if it rains hard enough with a southerly wind of any sort there's a patch where water is getting in and splotching. Rain is no longer my friend.

I can sell you some rain if you want Mez.

Welp, signed a new lease on Thur, got the first payments today, new tenants are moving in on Thur (it was the first day the elevator wasn't booked yet).
Looks like 5 months of headaches are now over.
Now I'm gonna start going outside more after work, work on my shots on a nearby school net,

Man, things were abuzz with summer time activity this Saturday - lawn mowers sounds coming from all directions. Traffic heavy at Home Depot for weekend projects. BBQ smoke this evening. Feels good. Of course we're supposed to get snow Monday/Tuesday.

Second time was the charm. I sold my apartment, for roughly £20 000 above asking price. It feels absurd almost, in 6 years the value of this place have doubled. I would have felt rich if not for the knowledge that all this money will go straight into our new and bigger loan.
