Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Spider-Man (2002) in which a grammatically-modified hyphen gets between the nouns "spider" and "man" and special effects ensue. It's OK as these things go, but the peak is the early scene when Kirsten Dunst trips and her tray flies in the air and the spider bloke catches the tray and then everything lands on it, because it was done without special effects and took 156 takes. That's Singin' In The Rain levels of commitment
Though from what I hear, the bloke in question is a right dick
Anyway, next up was a rewatch of Operation Mincemeat (2021). I may have mentioned this before, but the main staircase in the Admiralty is pretty awesome but not as awesome as the one in whatever building they had pretending to be the Admiralty in the film. Kudos, though, for the scene when they're walking down the side of said Admiralty and the Citadel, glimpsed briefly to the left side of the screen, isn't completely obscured by ivy or some such creeping plant, as it is in the present day; you'd never even look for that unless you knew the buildings and how they were back then, so the SFX people did a good job on the back of the drawers there
And then a further episode of S3 of The Wire
Goodnight all

Hope it all gets sorted, eek. I'm sure it will but I suppose the seller could claim some form of penalty for the delay? I'd hope the errant solicitor picks up any such bill.
In my own housing news, no paperwork has been raised yet by the letting agency. This is because the landlady is overseas (not sure if resident or just on holiday) and they want to get confirmation about the removal of unnecessary furniture I've requested first. I'm glad they're doing a proper job of it so am comfortable with the minor delay.
My current landlady has lined up some viewings for tomorrow and next week. Some chap who lives up the road came past as I was faffing in the front garden who'd seen the place online and wanted to have a look at where it is due to him and his wife needing to move and wanting to stay local. I gave him an unofficial tour as I didn't see any reason not to. I almost considered asking for a swap until he mentioned his landlord keeps whatsapping him and his wife trying to convert them to Islam.

and by the time I discovered what she had done it was too late

Will add - my annoyance comes from the fact that based on what I was told the only issue was elsewhere cue putting pressure on that elsewhere.
Only to be told by the person I asked to apply pressure that the real issue was on our side.

That's a pretty tulipty situation eek - no wonder you're annoyed. I remember my overriding worry when I was buying this place being that I couldn't see the various moving parts of the process as well as I'd like and assure myself that it was all going OK. Any idea when you might be able to get it sorted?
Story I've been told is that 2 page faxes have been sent but not all of it's arrived - I'm sorry but that's the 1990 way of doing things...
Going to be fun when this is finished as I have enough stuff from other emails to get the FCA making painful inquires as to their processes (I've 2 emails with other customer payments listed in it including amounts and reference details which is often house details).
