22 October 2010

At aerobics the shiny pompoms look like a permanent fixture as they came out again. Afterwards, I met Vanessa, my one-time exercise companion who is now pregnant, in Starbucks. She is 19 weeks so just at that enviable stage where the first movements are felt. She is very nice so I am happy to meet her sometimes for a coffee and chat, but I do seem to keep putting myself in proximity with pregnant women. Most of the time I can deal with the menopause issue at the moment, especially with the house-buying saga to keep me occupied.


In the evening Nick's friend Ian called and explained that he had been to view the house we really liked in Witton Gilbert. Unfortunately my fears that it was too good to be true were correct. It turns out that it is next to a pub, and not a particularly nice one as I might have considered it if it had been decent, but the showstopper was that the ceilings are too low for Nick. Ian had not been able to view the other property of main interest so that led to an evening of discussion which ended up with us deciding to look at a few places in the next price bracket up. We are still veering from enthusiasm to apprehension on this subject so who knows whether we will see it through (and whether Emily and I will end up on a plane home soon)?
