So me and the family were out checking on a house yesterday. Was pretty nice, had a fair bit of stuff to do on it, but nothing insane really. Had a decent size and a very nice garden too, ready for some actual decorating and enough space for a big greenhouse. Quite the basement as well, which was a surprise, given the relatively small stature of the house above ground.

So, of course, today other people have been head over heels bidding the price up and out the proverbial wazoo, far out of my range for any house, much less one of that size and condition.

Guess it was fun while it lasted, thinking about being able to actually get a reasonably sized home. C'est la vie!
