Am having splendidly efficient day so far, due probably to guilt at the fact that I'll be skiving off for long-lunch-break to look at houses this afternoon (though I *will* make my hours up, so it's not too bad). Sorted more photos, tidied desk up & put lots of things away, wrote 4 letters, & now doing research on Northern Ireland. How long will this last? we ask ourselves...

Estate agents

Well, the first one was sufficiently late (& the only other person in the office sufficiently on the phone) that we had to abandon him & head to the next appointment. Saw 2 flats there - one on Grange Rd, opposite Bermondsey Spa, which was really rather nice. And one on Long Lane which was a bit grotty. The Grange Rd one had a south-facing balcony, which I obviously found very exciting :-) (plants! sunshine! big glass doors!) Biggish rooms, currently unfurnished but the landlady is apparently ready to negotiate. So that's a possibility. 4 more viewings tomorrow, & then we shall take stock & decide whether we want to go for any of them (we are in the fortunate position of not having to move Right Now, so we can just hang around for a bit longer... but I'm not all that keen to do that, since the whole process is tiring & time-consuming).

Anyway. Work. Must show up at 8.30 tomorrow morning, or even earlier, in order to allow for extra time taken for lunches in order to see houses.
