I'm back! (in case someone noticed I was gone)

Went to Denmark to look at future homes. Looked at nine houses within three days. Fell in love with one - an old school house from 1925 with hiiiigh ceilings (up to 4 metres), stately stair cases, perfect space for the shop and a lovely (if somewhat messy) garden. Two stories, 263 square metres all in all with 4280 square metres garden and a tiny 9 square metres cellar. It needs some fixing and I'll be calling the agent to ask for an official condition report and once it has been made, we'll be sending a carpenter/house building aquaintance out to look at it. Also need to check the internet connection, as it's in the middle of no-where - actually it's on a side-road to the road in the middle of no-where. Please keep your fingers crossed that the report doesn't have any nasty surprises. I really want this house. It must be mine. MINE!

Second option house (which was more C's favourite) is a cute farm house that will also need some fixing.

Then there are three maybes, as in they are not exactly what we are looking for, for some reason or another, but they'll do if push comes to shove.

And finally four houses that didn't suit us at all.

---------------------------
It was the first time Murphy and Felix were alone home for more than 36 hours. Murphy had some scratches around his ear, so I guess Felix finally lost his temper with the little twit. Also, Murp apparently refused to talk to the STRANGER (cat sitter) and now thinks it's our DUTY to catch up on four days of cuddles.

And we ate a lot - and stayed the last evening at Park Hotel in Vejle before taking the plane back to Switzerland *waves to moreteadk*

Thanks :)

You were in my town and didn't tell me? Bad!

[frigg.livejournal.com]

I did think about it, but it was a bit of a last minute decision and we were there very briefly. I'll definitely tell you the next time we're in Vejle and have a bit more time. :)

[angrboda]

Heh, my flat is not in any state for potential visitors anyway. :p

I'm still reeling from the fact that you know Charlotte, btw. I'll have to remember to tell her next time I write her. The world feels very very small right now. :)

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Hehe...I've talked to her several times at dog shows (way back before she started her own kennel and only had her Malinois, I think) and at parties at Kennel Susmik. I'm not sure how close Charlotte is to the kennel anymore, though, I have a feeling there might have been some sort of falling out? However, under all circumstances Karl Erik's Loke was one of "the dogs" in the 90s. :)

This is sooooo weird!!! O.o Charlotte sold me Boannan, you know. We haven't known her pre-kennel, we only got to know them when we got Pascal and she had already started the kennel then. I think we got Pascal at about the same time the A litter was born. I seem to recall Vanilla being mighty pregnant at the time.

Loke was indeed a wonderful dog. What he didn't win was simply just not worth winning. Dad's plan is to get a dog after his lines after Pascal.

(It's true there was a bit of a falling out with the Susmik crew, though. I can't remember what it was about but I can imagine it was some differences of opinion on breeding programs or some such. Personally I've only met the Susmiks once, so I wouldn't know. I don't know if they ever made up again or anything.)

I missed you muchly!

*crosses fingers that you get the one you love*

[adriennelily.livejournal.com]

Ooh, fingers crossed!!

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[pjthompson]

Sounds wonderful! Good luck.

Thanks :)

I did sort of wonder what was up. :)

How fun it is house-hunting - but even if you don't get the one you fall in love with, remember - well, if you can tolerate advice from someone who had to deal with a spouse who didn't get the house he wanted most - it's not the house you buy that matters most: it's the home you make in the house you get. ::pause:: I gotta find somebody to exorcise this pollyanna . . .

[frigg.livejournal.com]

*lol*

What does the spouse say to all this wisdom?

[navicat.livejournal.com]

Eeee! Are they the houses you showed me??

[frigg.livejournal.com]

uhmmmm I think I showed you our second option (A yellow house with a small conifer forrest in the back?). I didn't show the school house to anyone. The price was quite low and there were lots of rooms that weren't represented with photos on the agent's web site, so we thought it probably wouldn't be that nice.

[driftingfocus.livejournal.com]

Sounds great! Did you take any pictures?

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'll post a link to the pictures later :)

*fingers crossed for you* 8-)

Thank you! :)
