Home Ownership, Socialising, Gaming

Settlement for our new home in Willsmere estate occurred less than half and hour ago. Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] 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 with [livejournal.com profile] a_carnal_mink and friends a few weeks back. Apropos such events, I also had the delight of a visit from [personal profile] discordia13 and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Does the new home have a Pit of Despair? I've always wanted a Pit of Despair, but unfortunately they don't come standard in Vermont.

Welcome to home ownership with bonus institutionalisation.

Congrats on the house! Home ownership is fun. I have no idea where Willsmere is though, sounds like a newly invented suburb.

Congrats on shaking off the rent shackles and hello to telling kids to "get off your damn lawn!!"

Grats!
Next time we are in the area we will definitely have to drop in.

Looks nice. Plus the bonus insane ghosts - even more fun than the regular kind!

On the floorplan, I assume "Ens" would be Ensuite - but what's BIR or BR in the closets?

Lovely new home. Any plans to change from 'realtor-inspired: paint all walls white' to some colors?

Congrats!! That is very exciting.

Looking forward to seeing it irl.
