sigh. getting nowhere with writing. doing housework, farting about on the web. did I mention I was sacked yesterday?

so today I was doing an online real estate cruise and discovered: a) an old church for sale in a town near my existing country property. a network of tatty rental places? I wish...

and b) 4 acres of land diagonally opposite my existing property. so, so tempting. all I need now is $400,000. or a job to service a mortgage.
