A Sunny Saturday Day
A Sunny Saturday Day ©
By Michael Casey
Well both the girls are out, one with friends in town and then
back to visit here friend’s dog, a soppy Rottweiler, while the other went to
town to have her makeup done by a gay friend of the wife’s. He works in one of
the top department stores I believe, so my big daughter had her face done.
Now she has gone out with one of her friends to another’s
Birthday party, like any dad I advised them to stay safe. It’s ok I do kick
boxing said the friend instantly growing in my estimation. Though my big daughter
has started reading up on all things medical, so she probably knows the places
to really hurt anybody.
A dad has to be reassured when his girls go out, ask any dad
the world over if you don’t believe me. I’ll be really relaxed when she gets a
gay ex-navy seal as a best friend, she does have a great gay friend already,
perhaps I should give him the Complete Bruce Lee video collection as a
Christmas present.
We went to see another house today, I thought it would be a
NO, but once we had a look around, it became as YES, and I told the wife to put
in an offer. So we did and went home happy, the Polish builder will be back in
Birmingham after his Easter holidays tomorrow. So he’d give it the once over
for us. The specs and the online info was not very good, once we had a look
around and decided who would have which room we decided to put an offer in.
An hour later even though it was only 4% less than asking
price, it was rejected. It was the vendor’s first offer. So being Chinese we
say, if you get better then take it, what we offer is what we offer. If you don’t
get better then get back to us. Our attitude is if it is ours then it is ours,
very ying and wang if I get my metaphors right. If Ying and Wang put a better
offer in they can have it.
There has only been one place that we really loved. All other
properties were just possibilities. Today’s was nice and to be honest the brother
of the owner is sound you could have a pint with him, they are a family of a former
publican after all. But buying a house is a serious business you have to stay
on budget, or if you are Chinese under budget. So not unless the lottery gives
me the 4% we’ll continue our quest for a home.
Though today was great because we
even had a spot for the dog and his basket, but God is good, so with God’s help
and two Policemen our new home will turn up. Or I might die and then the wife
gets to spent the insurance money too. See a Silver Lining in every situation.
I’ve been having a look at the newspapers and spotted Chelsea
Clinton, she’s going to run for Office in USA. God help us is all I say, family
dynasties are a bad thing in politics, it’s like the Kings in England, and the Droit du seigneur though I mean in regard to Kings
knowing best as opposed to Kings knowing in the Biblical sense. No name, no
family has the right to take over a country, if your politics descend that low
you are back to gangsters and bootleggers, or wasn’t that how one famous family
started in USA? Ouch.
Well I may read more
of the Press later on, now I’m being hunted out to buy eggs from the Polish
shop. Then I may catch up with Dr. Who but the spell has been broken as the
Christmas edition was so bad, which is sad as the present Dr. Who wanted the
part since his childhood. However some of the scripts were just pants, as in
bad.
Ok, I’m finished for
today, cross those fingers for tonight’s lottery or buy 10,000 ebooks then I’d
give your money towards buying today’s house,
and I may even get a free pint from the nice son of a publican.
