Love the house, Seska! Keeping my fingers crossed for y'all.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
it looks like it has room for visitors
It does! Being unemployable types, we'll be renting out the top room so that we can, y'know, eat and stuff. But we don't have to do that with it permanently. And it's got enough bedrooms that both The Girl and I can have a study! And it's on the main road into Derby (20 mins away), where I'll be doing my PhD. AND there's a station 10 mins away that will take The Girl into London, if she decides to do some commuting. (We've been testing out stairlifts. I glide up and down stairs on them like a very regal type.)
It doesn't even have the curse of the patterned carpet.
True! Although we're ripping out all the carpets in whichever house we buy. The Girl has dust allergies, so it's wood floors for us.
Is there some garden in the back?
Not really - just a (good sized) yard - which is part of what brings the price down on it. But I can't spend much time gardening for health reasons, and The Girl isn't interested in a garden. We looked at some houses with enormous gardens, but all it would mean to us would be paying a fortune for gardeners! This place has a yard that's big enough for a decent sized shed and a patio with chairs and table. Works for us. I'll grow herbs in pots!
I'm waiting for The Girl to call me back to tell me the offer's been accepted. Trust me to have my last Disability Equality Training class all day today.
All is going great so far with Frankie!
Great to hear!
Thinking of you, Shir.

Eventually we might extend this kitchen into the conservatory (which is just behind it).
I think that my favorite thing about this house is that it has a conservatory.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
House looks fantastic, Seska! Good luck! What exactly is a conservatory, anyway? A Canine Partner sounds like a great idea, too.
Shir, I'm glad it's getting better for you. It's not too soon, it's however it happens.

What exactly is a conservatory, anyway?
It's where Colonel Mustard kills Professor Plum with a candlestick.

Zen, it's basically a sunroom.

Ditto.

It's Mr. Boddy who was murdered, or has Colonel Mustard become a serial killer.

I wondered what was being conserved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wanna know - is Colonel Mustard related to Mean Mr. Mustard?
