Guess what's happening with the house purchase?

HA HA HA HA HA

NOTHING!

sigh

Apparently this is normal. Our seller's solicitors are slow slow slow. Everyone is chasing them. They remain unmoved. As do we.

As far as we, our solicitors, the seller, and the estate agents are aware, nothing is wrong, so that's good, I guess. And I know - I really know - this is a lovely problem to have, really. 

But I am a planner and I am not a patient woman and I am finding this tedious in the extreme. How is this a system? If everyone hates it so much why do we still do it like this? Why is England England? I am channelling Canute, raging against the tide, with just as much effect. I seem to have enough self awareness to realise this but not enough to do anything about it. As in adjust my expectations, take advantage of the lull, and just enjoy myself. 

I will try, I promise.

In other, nicer and more interesting news, Neal got photobombed by a fox yesterday on our afternoon walk - how lovely is that? Neither of us saw him at all but he certainly saw us :)
