tcpipSettlement for our new home in Willsmere estate occurred less than half and hour ago. Special thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seedy_girl for awesome legal liaison. The Mortgage Gallery did a fine job as well in securing the modest loan required. I have a set of photos [01 .. 09] of our new home, albeit with the former tenants furnishings. We have the joy of moving all our stuff (my god, how many books do we have?) later this week.
Because I am sometimes forgetful (or rather, I squeeze in an LJ 'blog in between of doing several other things), I neglected to mention was a delightful time I had witha_carnal_mink and friends a few weeks back. Apropos such events, I also had the delight of a visit from discordia13 and delicious_irony whom I hadn't seen for many years, and likewise a gathering at Polly's for Brendan E's birthday which included an ex-fiancée from some twenty years ago (yes, I do have a past, honest). It was all quite enjoyable.
On Sunday ran a game of GURPS Krononauts which involved taking the PCs back to pre-revolution Paris in order to prevent an 'incorrect' version of D'Alembert's Dream from being written; with influence from the dastardly Adam Weishaupt! This was the third game I ran this week; the other two being Fantasy Australia on Thursday (which combined a Call of Cthulhu adventure - Pride Of Yirrimburra - with an AD&D Dark Sun adventure - Arcane Shadows) and long-continuing RuneQuest game last Sunday and this Sunday coming.

It's haunted.

I reckon a selection of Melbourne g*wths should take over the place, one at a time :)

My preference was for abbatoir, although in the end I ended up getting a completely independent house not related to any of the above, and I think I'm just as glad.

Imagine the key parties!
FWIW, D and I have agreed that we could never live in any places converted from things such as asylums, prisons, et al. You and E are, now, officially "Gunga Din" to us. :)

You and E are, now, officially "Gunga Din" to us.
As such people would say: "Fell from the sky, got stuck in a date palm."

Date: 2010-03-02 10:35 am (UTC)On the floorplan, I assume "Ens" would be Ensuite - but what's BIR or BR in the closets?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-03 12:47 am (UTC)Ens is indeed ensuite, BIR is built-in-robes and BR is bathrobes.
