I can't believe its a tuesday night and I'm ratarsed...
My Uncle/Godfather is back from Spain. Ex-pat extraordinaire, hes just dropped the bombshell that he's bought the tudor manor-house at the end of our road. We tried quizzing him on his recent 700,000 purchase, but he just mentioned that Spain was getting a little hot over the Summer months and he needed an England base for the hotter months. It's insane that someone who came from the rancid back-streets of 'olde' Salford and now in his mid forties is buying up stuff built by landed gentry
Great stuff!
As his sole heir, he said if I tend to the gardens occasionally whilst he's abroad I can have free access to the place! If any of you fancy a weekend in a 10 bedroom 17th century manor-house, you can keep me company if you like
(Maybe I shouldn't have broadcasted that...). Ah, well. Proves what a few shrewd moves and sound business investments yields, dunnit?
Other slightly less bizarre news. The motorbike LIVES!!!!! Yes, I won some items from ebay, the wiring loom I bought on saturday were combined to good effect. I heard the bantam ROAR (well... "chuff" quietly) for the first time in 4 years...
Anyway, I need sleep. Just a brief visit I think. I PROMISE to make a full pass of my friends list and add a few comments in the next day or two!
Loads of love and respect to my online amigos & amigas!!!

Um, YES PLEASE. I'll bring the party favors. For us AND the ghosts. I just wanna see the inside of that place. The archetecture in those grand old houses is just wonderful. 17th century? There's very little on this side of the pond 170 years old! Good job on the bike, by the way.
