We spent all afternoon drinking wine and helping Sally decorate her house. Well it is the first of December! I‘ve never known for sure how early to put up Christmas decorations, so it’s nice to be staying with someone else and to have the decision taken for us! It was also nice to have something to do rather than sit around feeling disturbed by existing in the limbo between abodes.
I’ll feel better next week when we’re settling in to ‘The Willows’ It feels a bit stranger this time because we’re not meeting the owners before we move into their house. With David and Becky, we dealt with them directly and met them several times, but this time the Dobsons (for that is their name) are happy to do it all through the agency. They’ve used them before successfully and are pleased with our references so they want us to keep out of the way until they’re whizzing off to Portugal.
Sally and her husband Josh are very nice. Most of Philippa’s family are very nice, to be honest. And there’s rather a lot of them as well. Is it still customary for the families of the bride and groom to sit on opposite sides of the aisle at a wedding? If we ever do get married, that church is going to be so lopsided it’ll probably tip right over and we’ll all end up in the graves. Another reason to postpone our wedding for as long as possible….
