Just like that…

November 15, 2005

I don’t muck about when it comes to every day life it must be said - buying clothes, ordering food, deciding on where when and how for an evening, betting on horses that won’t win but have great names - decisive - that’s true of me if nothing else - apart from being decisive with women - although I did ask a girl out the other day - she was wearing a cool hat you see - she looked a bit like Joni Mitchell on the front of one my dads 70’s album covers - kinda like the kind of hat Cassie is wearing in the post a few below about devon - in fact I fell for an Indonesian girl in a band who was wearing impossibly short-shorts and she was wearing one of those type of hats - but in that case it may of been the short-shorts - but the hat definitely helped - I kind of like the idea of women in chef hats too - I always said ”Kylie Minogue, in the cake factory, wearing the chef hat - my kind of cluedo” and I stand by that....

anyways I bought a flat - sorry, that was what I am here to tell you - but I got distracted by the realisation that I do like a woman in a good hat - not any old hat - but you know, a detectives kind of hat - or a chefs hat - yes - those two - it’s not a fetish I don’t think - well I typed in ”woman in chef hat” on the internet super highway communication device and nothing came up as far as nak… anyways

SO yes! the flat! that’s a bit sudden isn’t it? well it was just a bloody good deal, a steal in fact - and it’s in a perfick place with valley views and not much noise - two mniutes near to trains, bars, restaurants and shops - very rentable and likely to go up in price as its in Winchester - which is a pricey place with limited development regulations and good connections to London - so if I work abroad again in the next few years I’ll have no probs.

It’s finished next spring and all manner of gubbins needs sorting as to choice of this and that - but they pretty much fit all the things you need in with the price - so all I have to do is get the wonderful women in my life to choose the colours, carpets, fixtures and fittings - women like doing these things I find - it’s like when we men get the latest issue of FHM and choose the top ten from 100 high street honeys or pick our fantasy football teams.

It will be a mighty effort on mortgage payments I suppose - but I’m savvy to saving and will get an interest only deal at first until I earn more.

I like the word savvy.

anyways - yes - I am a house owner - a proper grown up - not that you’d know from reading this I guess - or the real reasoning about deciding to buy:

Sturdy: it’s not so bad living with your folks you know
Spo: I know - a lot gets done for you and there’s always food in
Sturdy: yeah and it’s fecking cheap as - I mean what 200 quid a month? food, rent, bills.... you’re laughing
Spo: yes indeed
Sturdy: I’m in no rush right now - I’ve got my own space there
Spo: yeah but we’re 28 though...
Sturdy: yeah so what? plenty of folk live with their folks later in life these days - in the past the only young people that bought houses were the ones who got married.
Spo: yeah but it isn’t the way forward to be 28 and still inviting girls back to your parents place to take things on a bit - I mean women want to meet your folks as one of their little chalk points for signs of commitment - but not that early… like first night early…
Sturdy: don’t tell them until breakfast?
Spo: I need to get my own place quickly
