Morning all,
Here is a slightly more detailed, yet belated update, to let you all know what's happening in the life of Cohen. It's been a while since a post on here has been more than a spattering of lines, so I shall try my best to get my head down with this one and provide you all, stalkers and friends alike, with some hard core FACTS about what's going on.
As you may, or may not be aware, Charlie and I put an offer in on a flat which was accepted before we went to Hawaii. We're now waiting on solicitors to argue it out before we can get a moving in date. Sadly, our solicitor is not the politest chap in the world and has a fondness of sarcastic humour. With any luck, he'll poke his eye out with a pen and someone else will step in, but until that day, we have to just go along with what he's saying. There is no onward chain on the flat or on our parts, so it really shouldn't take too much longer, you'd have thought.
The garage flat where we currently reside is now filled with kitchen appliances, tables, chairs, benches, towels, cutlery etc all ready to go into the new place. It's very.. cosy.
Other than that, and the engagement to the greatest girl in the galaxy, things have been ticking along as usual. Back into the swing of things at work and slowly starting to adjust back to GMT. I've also developed a passion for Rumblers with raspberry.
Think that's it for now.. perhaps a quick bullet point run down of key moments from the last week will suffice?
- Charlie upgraded her phone to a W850i. She wanted a W950 but it didn't have a camera
- We bought two suede dining chairs and a very nifty fireplace for the flat
- I learned how to play "In Repair" by John Mayer on the acoustic (big day)
- Charlie's engagement ring arrived and mine should be here by Tuesday of this week (manly)
- The Slingbox works and is good
- Superdrug are alarmed at the sudden increase in sales of Rumblers with Raspberry
Anyway, until next time folks.
Chris
1. Solicitor probably grumpy at your (ab)use of the split infinitive - what on earth did we pay Freeman's all that money for?
2. I think you'll find that half your list of new acquisitions are in our lounge - clearly you are over-indulging in your prosaic licence in the detail here but, then, I suppose we shouldn't, as parents, expect you to change this habit let alone the objects' actual location
