The temperature seems to have dropped again here
Managed to do without putting the heating on until late yesterday afternoon but had it on all day today. Raining and very windy at the moment

Yes we've bought off-plan and are almost at completion - after a 3 year wait!! We have bought and renovated a house in England back in the early 80's did really well as we sold it after 7 years for 8 times what we paid for it. We paid £3000 and sold for £24000. That was a fluke though as there was a housing boom
We almost sold it for £8000 but the lad buying it backed out because his girlfriend wanted a car instead - then the boom and the price shot up
After we sold we saw the lad in a bar and bought him a drink, he was gutted! We were pleased as punch

Dyou know I do wonder if the sky could be much bluer! I was lucky enough to go to caribean a couple of Xmases ago (yes I do feel the cold that much) and this weather is similar to then.
Just need the food and pina coladas on tap then perfection occures! Oh well, might be lucky and get bacon sarnies for lunch. Yum
