Progress

Me:

Went to the gym this morning: pool was (*grump*) closed, but did a half hour workout, and found it much less tiring than I expected. This of course may be due to the fact that my caffiene intake is now two cups of tea a day, rather than four plus four or five Diet Cokes.

Weight? A painful 287lbs on the Scales That Do Not Lie. Time to start losing.

House:

The folks we're buying off have a second viewing on a place they like. Fingers crossed.

The electrician's just been and fixed all our wiring (including some horrible 1930's rubber-insulated lighting circuits).

Evidently the previously owners had some work done. Equally evidently, the guy who did it for them was a liability. The horror pictured below was extracted intact from under our landing floorboard, about 2" from a copper heating pipe.

That looks like something I'd cobble together on short notice, except I'd cover it in electrical tape. I certainly hope they didn't *pay* someone to do that!

Good luck on getting your new place soon.
