House stuff first I guess. The lettings agent lady came out to do her assessment and it's much as we suspected. Place has to be stripped (including all the fitted bedroom furniture), re-carpeted, new boiler, new bathrooms, redecorated through, garage roof needs fixing, new cooker as the G-ma disposed of the last one for some reason or another, garden needs tidying, it's a long list of stuff...
So we've basically got to go through and take anything we want and thereafter it's the domain of house-clearance people and a fleet of tradesmen.
On the other hand, the G-ma seems to be rather liking her new home. She's being fawned over and petted constantly and is rather looking forward to the hairdresser visiting.
I'm told she was delighted this afternoon as cook had made her corned beef hash, specially.
I'm not sure how true that is exactly, I think it possibly more likely that cook made corned beef hash just in general, but whatever... we're not going to argue over that point.
At present I am trying to work out if I have a new cold brewing or if I'm just allergic to her fucking house. My nose has been streaming for the past 2 days and I can't stop sneezing.
I don't really feel *ill* just exhausted in that way you get when you can't quite breathe properly. That's always stupidly knackering.
I don't know if it's the dust or what, but my sinuses are fucking *ITCHING* I am about half an inch from clawing my own goddamn face off.
