Early start again and then a chat to Kirsty but I had to rush off to my swimming class which was lovely and nice to be in the sun.
We all went for coffee and then I went home had lunch and went to meet Jon and heather at the house we were to look at.
One look in the door and we knew we didn't like it and I think the agent knew we wouldn't like it as he told us straight away he had another that he thought we would like better and as soon as he finished with the other couple viewing (they thought it was a wonderful house but they looked a little odd) he would meet us there.
The second house was nearer to where we are now but with two big dogs in the drive that belong to the neighbour it was a non starter, they would eat Tot for a snack!!
We then went across to Welcome Bay and I had said I didn't want to go there as it is a bit further out of town. When I saw the house and where it was and the garden I fell in love with it. The garden goes right down to the water and is directly across the estuary from our Rotary Park where we walk the dog. The garden is big with some lovely trees and to Jon's delight a lemon tree which he has always wanted for his G&T!!!
The house is a bit old and has pine walls inside but the views make up for it. The kitchen is also old but then we knew we would never get another like this. It has four bedrooms and what they call a 'rumpus' room downstairs which leads onto the garden and has a snooker room and table which would be left unlocked for the 'right' tenants - us!!
The owner is building a double garage at the front as the garage is at the back and down a slope and difficult to get into, he is also going to put electronic gates on which would be lovely and safe with the dog going out. He also said he will consider a new bathroom in the future but wants the garage done first. It has an wood fire which also heats water if you need it failing that the water is heated with solar panels.
The agent called tonight and told us the owner will allow the dog and likes the look and sound of us, the agent sent him a photo taken on his phone. The agent is very happy to have us as we are a safe and good bet. Hopefully it will all go through OK and then we have to start buying furniture as we have none.
I finally got home and fed Tot then rushed out to the supermarket as I had nothing out for dinner. I got back and walked Tot and then made the dinner and I am more than ready for bed now as my feet don't feel as if they have touched the ground all day.

Lovely sunshine 19 degrees
