01 December 2006

I've got keys that jingle jangle jingle... I picked up the keys for Swan's End (the house I just bought) today! [More:]The deal on the house closed today. I'm not out of the woods financially yet as the deal for the condo I own hasn't firmed up yet and may not, but for now I'm just enjoying the feeling that Swan's End is mine. I went over there after leaving the lawyer's office and explored my house, acquainting myself with it as it is and envisioning it as it will be. I move in on Tuesday.

I'm happy for you on the house, but mostly I want to congratulate you on getting that song stuck on me.

...just my rifle, my pony and me...

Nice cat palace image, essexjan!

I'm thinking that I really must do a rearview painting of a swan for the front hallway - nice little injoke for those who'll get it.

I'm going to take pictures tomorrow and post them as soon as I can.

Excellent news, Orange Swan, I am so very looking forward to trading our current keys for some keys to a nicer house closer to our old neighborhood or just away from this neighborhood (which has seen a pretty dramatic rise in violent crimes over the last few months, lots of stabbings).

Oh, this is great Orange. So, now you got 2 condos! Well, hope you sell the other one soon.

BTW, did you buy those bottles of wine?

if I ever own a place (a brick even) in this country, I think I will feel ... I don't know, such an adult?

Congrats, Orange Swan, that's awesome!

But now I'm wondering what I should name my new place.

You could always start a house naming thread, deborah. Worked for me!

No, I didn't buy those bottles of wine. It was a nice suggestion, but I'm not much of a drinker.

I certainly did when I bought my flat. I think it was the realisation that it would be 30 years before I actually own it.

Congrats, OS. . .I wish you many happy years in this abode.

Have you christened it yet?
You've got to launch it, like a ship, with a bottle
or whatever best befits the moment

When I used the toilet for the first time yesterday, it felt like a signal moment.

Congratulations! Have you gone around showing off the keys?
