Tangled Mind

I am now living north of the Thames for the first time since July 1987. Go me! (Actually, am not going anywhere for a while. Moving is hard work. Am feeling quite grown-up about having done it by myself instead of having to rely on others to drive.)

There is a great deal of sky. And light.

There are insufficient felines. (But have been Zil'd.)

There are many books.

Email from letting agent: "the amount we have received from you for his over paid rent is £34.71 less than we need it to be. The amount Ravi should be refunded is £485.15 and not £450.44."
email to letting agent: "the shortfall is probably because your original email said that the rent was overpaid by £450.44, see attached email."
telepathy in general direction of letting agent: "GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE"

In other news, have spoken to solicitor who was all smiles and cheer like someone doing her job properly. Have agreed to send her ~40 unnumbered pages received by fax in February 2000 when I was buying the place. "Yes," she says, "of course 'office copies' refers to Land Registry stuff."
telepathy in general direction of solicitor "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO THREE WEEKS AGO? NOW GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE"

Cunning plan: I will go away and leave them alone.

Sam and Shiva are esconced in their new home, Chez residentevil666. (There has been some Bad Language.)

We went to pick them up on Saturday afternoon. I'd asked R to keep them indoors, and starved, but when I rang to say we were en route, she told me that Shiva'd gone missing -- hadn't been seen all day.

Leaving ladymoonray to herd children, I went out into the garden and called My Cat. And My Cat turned up within five minutes. Bwa ha ha ha ha. ( more cat-moving news )

Am now Moved, and mostly Sorted, and more convinced than ever that I have the most fabulous friends in the world. Thanks to sbisson, marypcb, ivory_goddess, techno_fear, and soulstar for services above and beyond what anyone would expect, including:
- getting nearly all my possessions into R's loft
- getting the rest of my possessions to Kent
- then getting said possessions upstairs
- being excellent company even when my nerves frayed a little
- being reassuring
- understanding perfectly when I was soppy about leaving samandshiva (who will be joining me next weekend, unless R reneges in which case I shall set her family on her).

Thanks to residentevil666 for not biting me very much. Hahahaha! I slept through your 3am welcoming party!

And above all thanks to ladymoonray for being better than the best friend I could have imagined. Not only transport, not only soothing messages, not only a room of my own, but Lush shower gel! Prawn cocktail! Pink drink! Pink fridge!

And an internet connection that works.
