    Well done getting the '00. That'll upset the morning posters.

    How goes it in the new hovel?
    Shalom

    We remain in the old dwelling until our possessions are transported to the new hovel.

    But at least we do not need quarrying equipment to open the gate. Have you now got reasonable access, or does mountaineering and abseiling now routinely feature in your access procedure?

      Anything less than $30,000,000 and she's ripping you off.

        I left via the back door today; I have a key for the supposedly-secure common area out there. Somebody with a better back than mine has shifted the rock a bit so the front gate can be partially opened. However, as they're all new tenants who I don't know and therefore can't assume will have arranged for anything to be done, I think I ought to phone the appropriate people to let them know about it - otherwise nothing will get done

        Anyway, with news of recent rain at Liverpool Crosby (and other points west) leading me to suspect that the forecast of rain tomorrow afternoon might be correct, I shall betake myself unto my slumbers

        Goodnight RC, and all other denizens, if any more there be

          Goodnight, NF.

          I, too, shall head bedward.

            I don't know.

            I've known brothers and sisters from mixed-race backgrounds to look strikingly different to each other.
