Home again. The job in Kuwait ended rather suddenly at the end of July so arrived home during the week and had a few pints to celebrate. Actually a bit more than a few.
Things around here don't change much, the lass that runs the Mounts is still a misery with no people skills. The county is full of emmets Wednesday was a terrible day to get home as it was Culdrose Airday, when the local navy base is open to the public. It is located on the only road from Helston to the Lizard and took me 45 minutes to do the mile past the camp.
Have been busy cutting the grass in the garden as it was left to grow while I was away, looks bloody awful now and will grow again when I go off again next week.
Leaving Kuwait early has enabled me to drop into another project immediatly, I am off to Algeria as soon a a visa is obtained.
Went around the local estate agents Friday to see if any one else can sell the house as the ones I am with at present have done nothing. I now realise why selling a house is such a traumatic experience, you have to deal with arsehole estate agents. I thaugnt lawyers were full of double speak but these clowns are in a league of their own. I had one idiot try to convince me that their sliding scale of prices that depended on the value of the property was not in effect a percentage based fee structure. He was also explaining how it was harder and therefore more expensive to sell a more expensive property. Still did not explain what extra work they had to do to justify the extra fee. Greedy bastards the lot of them. I cannot see why they just dont say it will cost x pounds to sell your house regardless of the value of that house. Rant over.
