Ow

[moonwise]

Somehow I got sunburned on the backs of my upper arms today, and it hurts like a mofo.

We agreed on a house price today. Yay. House needs a good bit of work, and we are not going to pay for French wells. Guess who will pay to have that remediated (hint: not us.)

Looked at lots of furniture. Shit, Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel are expensive.

Today was the second annual Rescue the Pansies Day. The johnny-jump-ups I bought two years ago have reseeded themselves all over the lawn for the second time, so to avoid the cruel blades of Mr. Lawn Mower, I spent the afternoon digging them up and replanting them.

Fannish news: I HAS A TOURNESOL. w00t.

Oh, congrats on the house! Hope the sale goes through without too many hassles, but at least there are less worries on that front in the US than in Britain. I take it this is the one with all the wildlife? :-)

Thanks! Actually, we elected not to go with the house with all the wildlife - the commute was simply too problematic, and the area is prone to flooding. This is the house we're bidding on now. (http://new.gsmls.com/public/getMediaReport.do?mlsNum=2387255&imageCount=10) We still run a risk of getting sniped, even under contract, but there are a lot of other houses on the market if we lose this one.

That looks nice and big :-) I see you're going to have the same problem we have with all those blank white walls to fill! Nice bathroom.

Yes, there do seem to be many walls for pictures. :) We do have some art and lithographs and stuff like that in the attic, and if that doesn't work, there's always Ikea!

The bathroom was definitely a selling point. You must have a bath on the Roman scale; it's key. And bath bombs.
