A Winter Weekend

The first open inspection of my place was at 12:30 on Saturday. Four couples came to look. One couple (apparently) liked it but the lounge was too small - so no, thank you. Another couple showed interest but had other places to look at. 

The estate agent had been hoping for six couples but I thought four wasn't bad when the place had only been on the market for three days. Plus it was very cold and gloomy on Saturday so people may have been put off by the weather.  The agent might have been disappointed but I was quite pleased. It was a long, long time after we put the house in Tupton on the market before anyone showed any interest at all!

In the meantime, Brandy, Whiskey and I have moved up to Hill House for a couple of weeks while Lindsey and Ian are away.  I must say, I am not looking forward to moving the cats to Melbourne. They howled all the way here and it's only a five minute drive.

They were a bit puzzled when we got out of the car and all their things came in. But they seem to have settled in quite well


Fascinated by the glass walls

We have commandeered Rupert and Hugo's feeding station


They found their cosy beds

and the actual bed

Paws tucked under -
must be feeling relaxed

Found a cosy bed on a comfy chair

I've got them confined to the kitchen end of the house. They are VERY curious about what is behind this door! (Piano room, lounge room and bedrooms - they can explore them in a few days)



I didn't do very much over the weekend, apart from clean Tani's floors, sweep leaves up from the patio and little lawn and move up here. I'll go back down to my place later this morning. There's an inspection at lunch time and another mid-afternoon and it's still very cold in Ballarat. I'll sweep the floors again and this time I'll put the heating on and make a pot of coffee so the place feels warm and inviting.

(And if you're reading this and thinking now would be an ideal time to head to Tani and clear it out - my neighbours are keeping an eye on the place. And so am I!)
