Big Bauble

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

Today was mostly quiet. I went to the supermarket to get Caro supplies for the week as I will be in Christchurch from Monday to Friday but really that was it.

Or so I thought. Shenée and Craig were in the neighborhood at 3pm so I went out for a quick pint with them. They had been looking at houses. Or to be more accurate a "lifestyle block".

That is what they call a house with a decent bit of land attached to it. Shenée wants to be able to live right next to her chickens and horses instead of visiting them on a nearby farm as she does at present.

She had just seen a place and was VIBRATING with excitement. "Please help me try to keep expectations realistic," begged Craig who reckons they MIGHT be able to scrape together a lending deal but only just.

"No. I've decided. This is my house," said Shenée, hugging the schedule.

And so, having FAILED in my one job, I went back home to my lovely wife and cats. I am going to miss them.

And "good luck" to Craig.
