Default A truley wonderfull day

After several weeks of being down in the dumps when we thought our house sale had fallen through because of impecunious buyers, suddenly this morning they came up with the cash and we exchanged contracts this afternoon.

Watch out Calgary, you are going to be painted red tonight.

Nice way to end the week.

Judging from the spelling of your title, I'd say that you'd already started painting.

Didn't have to do either. The plonkers couldn't read a map and it eventually transpired that we were not inside the conservation area

Had friends across from the UK, so have already been painting all week. It will just be an even brighter shade of red tonight

Congratulations to you both!

It's been a great day on the boards with lots of positive news from 'potential escapees' who are now able to begin their new lives

Congratulations Posidrive, it must be a huge weight off.

Does the "red" comment refer to the 1760 yards of 17th Avenue on which you'll be drinking?
