Andy, the only other English in the house, packed up his shit and left without warning the other day. Subsequently we’ve been looking for new housemates, putting up adverts and so on. It isn’t a good time of year to be on the lookout for tennants really. We have had one round already, a shy and, to be frank, stunningly pretty dutch girl, who was almost perfect up until she announced that her one and only interest was her obsession with the film ‘Dirty Dancing’ and related merchandise. Not to be a snob or anything, but I like to relax in my house after work and it was bad enough with Andy’s funky house music (no offense Andy).
This morning I watched the ‘Dick & Dom in da Bungalow’ Christmas special, surely one of the best programmes on tv. Now I have to buy ten or so things, including a jacket for Mad Mart’s wedding tomorrow at this place – should be a laugh.

I’ve had the time of my life doesn’t count as relaxing music? LOL
Saw you in one of the communities. Hope you don’t mind.
No, it doesn’t. Really. I don’t have a very good sense of ironic humour when I get home from work.
By the way, your page has a non-colour-blind friendly colour scheme, I can’t read a word.
Woo, looks rather posh. Did you have a good time?
Can’t remember.
Sounds a bit like my weekend then.
:)
