Moving stress needs Zen and ITV

Yesterday was another mini-peak of stress and hard decision-making. Sunday we saw the tipi-lady's flat for sub-let. It was ok but couldn't have post delivered there. Spent most the day around the Laines. Checked out the Artrepublic which is where the Banksy picture got stolen. Noticed that our framed Kozyndan prints (one of them pictured) were worth a bit more.

Finally got some news on the house chain. People we're buying off got fed up themselves and put an offer on another property. Good to hear but just confirms that they'll be another chain on top of that.

What I thought was going to be an escape plan has fallen short. The Uni of Sussex offered us a flat which is just a glorified bedsit. They wouldn't let us view the flat either. I googled the residence name, East Slope and there's chatrooms saying how much of a hole it is and how many parties there are. So...we've added another 2 weeks on the Southampton flat and I'll have to become a lodger of some description until we either suss out how the chain progresses and most likely commit to a flat for a 6 month let.

Not much else going on at the moment. Nice Japanese meal at Zen on Saturday night with Kirin on tap. There's been a couple of good ITV programmes recently. 24 Hours with Bobby Brown showed how much of a fruit-cake he is. Last night was Tough Gig with Frank Skinner who went to a Osho Leela personal growth centre. So funny when he decided to dance after the monotony of stuffing envelopes. Can't wait for next week with Dara O'Briain who does fanatsy role-players.
