Re: Moving back: An online diary!

I'm almost certain that it's one of those Island winter lets... but that's OK. It will give me a few months to find a place more permanent!

I suppose I could use a VPN...

Re: Moving back: An online diary!

There's a thought! Funny thing, though...

Re: Moving back: An online diary!

Update:

Sold the car for about £4,200 (155,000 baht)

I think I could have waited a few weeks and got more, but frankly, I didn't want the stress of waiting till the last minute to get this...
