Fading house

Sep 9, 2008

We went, the other week, to my partner’s grandfather’s house. He is in a home, and it had been rented out – the tenants had just left, and we were supposed to check that they hadn’t emptied the contents of the loft.

There was something very sad about the place. He was a very proud man, a carpenter by training, and he’d taken great care of the house and garden while he was fit and active. He went downhill quite rapidly when his wife died in 2005, they were married for 70 years. Now it’s degrading, the garden is overgrown and bits are breaking and coming to pieces. The décor looks very dated and old.

We left baby Ruby on the floor to babble as we checked the place over.

Moving around

Moved this all over to a separate installation as it seemed an easier way to upgrade WordPress than, eh, reading instructions. Will look crap for a while as I play with it, and maybe, even start writing stuff on here again. Have a new domain registered which I aim to get some nice pictures on soon.
