Signed, Sealed and Delivered

Well, we settled on the house on Friday. We've got a few jobs to do before moving in however.

I don't know how Monster will cope as her eyesight isn't the best these days. She is turning 17 on Christmas Day, so I don't think she is doing too bad for an old girl! Actually I have a feeling that she will spend all night every night running up and down the stairs pretending to be a baby elephant instead of an elderly kitty.

So many people have asked me where the obelisk is (why aren't you commenting on the blog?) that todays picture is an aerial view of Newcastle. Click on the photo to enlarge it and you will see a red circle around our new house and a blue around the flat. The obelisk is sort of up a bit and left of the red circle!

Unfortunately the nature of this picture (it was taken rather high up) means it tends to flatten out the scene, so it's a bit difficult to see just how steep that darn hill really is!
