Cowart's Common Room
I CAN'T SLEEP CHAT POST
I watched Rosemary & Thyme on TV this evening , love that programme. I felt quite nostalgic when I saw it, as most of the filming was in Regents Park and I used to go there a lot when I was growing up in central London. The house in the play looked exactly the same as the one I lived in as a child, even the same street, oh takes me back.!
Westerwitch - Bam Bam & Pebbles are much better and are eating, hooray,! I am so pleased, I was so worried for you, know how much they mean to you., your darling Sheep.
Now I am going to take a tour round site, see what's been happening.
If you can't sleep and there others on line then have a natter here.
Night Night, & Sweet Dreams.

I asked how he was doing with the new ownership of the building and he replied that he'd be moving out in May. He has not yet found a place to move to! But the new owners of this building have upped the rent on his tiny, tiny, tiny apartment to a rediculous height. He cannot stay.
Stories like this occur now all over this city. NY has many wonderful aspects, but the ruthlessness of the real estate community is not among its charms. Keep in mind that we are now in a recession, and that the real estate bubble is well burst. But still my neighbor has no idea right now where he will be living in a month's time.
Not at all something to have a pleasant dream about.

We had bad news last week, buyers have pulled out, they offered us a considerable amount less money to our agreed asking price, this they said because house prices have tumbled in Norfolk.

Re:

It is crummy that just plain folks have their lives tossed this way and and that because of risky moves made by others in the macro economic world.
Maybe, in your case, you will have more opportunity to find a good place to which you want to relocate, while finding another perfect buyer for your current house.
Hope that will be the case, dear Camilla!
If you have raided that fridge and had a bite or two, your deputy owl thinks that it might just be time for you to try to close your eyes, get some rest. Have pleasant dreams. xo

Re:

Hope you see this, fancy that, we could have rubbed shoulders. Regents Park was only about a ten minute walk for me from where we lived. Last time I was there was when I was pushing the babies in Pram along the park. I have a feeling it is a lot busier now.

Re:
Camilla, we do get some vintage cast-off Rosemary and Thyme episodes on our public television stations here. I find the plots a bit ... well, you know. But it is great to see the various gardens, and Felicity and Pam are also fun to watch as they sort it all out.
Did you see the film Children of Men, based on the PD James book, but not strictly adhered to, script-wise. Pam Ferris had a major part in that film that was very different from the gardener role.
I am also touring the grounds. Hope to see you later.
