    Re: Looking for a new home...

    Ah I haven't updated yet with the results of the photo shoot. The person who was picking me up was fifteen minutes early so I made him wait downstairs until I had finished and was ready to go. When I arrived he was talking to the owner of (rival real estate company) who rent our first floor and naturally wanted to know why a member of his opposition was hanging around his office.

    He was also a hobbit - around four feet tall. I felt like asking how he was going to drive me when he couldn't reach the pedals. But that wouldn't have been manners...

    When we got to the apartment the photographer was already outside taking pictures of the dead plants on my balcony (oops) and we all trooped inside me, the photographer, two agents and a lot of boxes. There was supposed to be a copywriter too, but as the agent loudly informed me she couldn't come because she was having her period.

    So the agent and I shifted the boxes while the hobbit was handed a broom and ordered to sweep the balcony (double oops). Then the photographer snapped away in the living area, the bedroom and the kitchen (where the agent went into transports of delight over my teacup and insisted on putting it in the middle of the bench for the photos because it was so 'delightful')

    And then we went back to the office and on the trip back the hobbit held forth incessantly about how he didn't like Twilight, and yet asked me whether I was Team Edward or Team Jacob (for the record I'm Team Eric) and told me that he still lives with his mother and grandmother because they cook and clean for him (so pity the poor girl who marries him, because there is some serious retraining to be done there) and finally dropped me off back at work for some blessed peace.

    The copywriter was supposed to come today to see the house, but apparently she's still having her period so I've sent a few key phrases to the agent for the advertising (like 'handily close to the animal fat rendering plant' and 'comes complete with your very own animal friends' and 'rotting timber floors' )

    One place to see today, and two tomorrow. My new home is out there, I just have to find it.
