Thanks to Metafilter for this one!

No I’m not jacking in my job, moving to a farm and living off my own home produce… rather Kirsty and I have finally taken the plunge after 6 years of saving and have bought a house!! It’s a lovely brick mid-terrace built in the 30’s and is just round the corner from work and part of the community I love.

Moving has been the main reason I’ve not blogged for a few weeks; the phone has been up and running but the internet connection is still not working (various technical explanations for this), so I’m writing this at work… It’s OK, the boss is away this week

There’s loads of other stuff been going on this summer, most notably the Festival Of Wick and our Mexican friends Mimi & Katy staying, but I’ll save those for another post. Just wanted to let you know I’m still alive!

For those of you who didn’t know, Kirsty and I put in an offer on a house a few weeks ago. We were only casually looking around and it was just the second property we’d seen, but it just seemed like a great place to live. Also it’s a big step for us as we’ve been saving up since we got married back in 2000.

Today loads of documents arrived from the Estate Agents, Solicitors, etc. and it finally seems like it might actually go ahead! If all goes well, hopefully we’ll be moving sometime in the next 8 weeks. Watch this space as I’ll let you all know what’s happening.

Oh, check out Flickr as I’ve put loads of photos up there too.
