007 - Sold at long last... I hope & Are these words worth putting down?

I have been waiting and waiting, getting more and more impatient by the day.

Finally I get the message that we have exchanged contracts for the sale of my flat in Newhaven, East Sussex.

Completion on Friday.

So in two days time I will supposedly be flush with enough cash to buy my dream in Bulgaria.

If you don't hear from me again... well you can guess the rest.

But hopefully I will now be a regular contributor to this blog as I tell you of all the twists and turns of what will be a whole new episode of my life.

In the last few weeks while I have been waiting I have once again upped tools and been involved in a couple of computer office moves, and yesterday was testing all the network points for a company in East Grinstead. Over a period of two hours I checked out over 200 points, with just seven failing, these will need a bit of tweaking over the next few weeks to get them ready for the incoming move.

I also met a lovely lady whose daughter runs a brewery, typical, I find the perfect woman just as I am about to leave the country. We got on really well so maybe she might pay me a visit in the future... once I have a roof over my head.

The brewery is a new startup called Frensham Brewery, and their first beer is named "Forager", a lovely brew with a strength of 4.5 but not tasting too potent.

If you want to experience the taste you will have to visit the Hampshire area, this is a link to their website.

I have also been reading up on Bulgaria, learning a bit about the history and also trying to learn the language. I have a smattering of Russian, Czech, and Greek, which helps both with some familiar words, and the Cyrillic alphabet.

I have been downloading podcasts onto my ITunes from some of the language sites, plus I also have been listening to a Bulgarian Business podcast Bulgaria Now  which is quite informative.

I also joined "In Bulgaria" a year or so ago when I first decided that I was going to relocate, and I have been reading a few articles on there as well. In Bulgaria .

I will end this little write with yet another poem that I hope you will enjoy.


Are these words worth putting down
My head is full of words and rhymes 
that make no sense until
they get scripted down on paper
by fountain pen or quill


It is the only perfect way 
I can let my feelings roam
getting words in order 
and creating some new tome



I like things to have a story 
and avoid sentimental prose
of love and all things sickly 
like the giving of a rose



If I can add some humor 
then trust me 'cause I will
I treat it as a gift
though some would say a skill



Most everyone who reads my lines
tends to crack a smile
and make the writing warranted 
if only for a while



But most of all the reason 
that I use my time like this
Is to avoid work that's to be done
and this is truly bliss

  2. As Hurree Jamset Ram Singh (from the Billy Bunter stories) might say... "The relief-fulness is terrific" :)

    As a total optimist I am cooking a celebratory dinner tonight :)
