A relief

Practical things today such as fixing the step in the back garden, and then driving off to the tip to drop off bags of smelly garden rubbish and buy silicone from the hardware store. At home we -- wildly impressively -- resealed the shower tray after watching a video on YouTube. 

After these triumphs we were momentarily sprawled on the sofa where Lorraine was called by Angie our buyer, who is now out of hospital after a nightmarish scenario of having been given a whole bunch of medications that then promptly disappeared. Most importantly for us, they confirmed they still wanted to move -- a big relief. We have agreed to give them a couple more weeks recovery, before swapping contracts -- for a move in late October. The relief  their end was palpable.  Obviously this is not ideal for us, but we felt there is light at the end of the tunnel. We'll see.

A quiet, tea sipping kind of evening. All well.
