Nightmare at George Street!!!

So when you move into a new house you do expect there to be some things that you don't like and that you will have to change. However, at George street we have something a bit more special than that.... A wall mural that actually scares me witless is possibly a little unusual! I give you the wall of Mr EB's study-

I mean argh, help, yikes!!!!! What the heck is that? One of my birthday party guests suggested it was probably someones  A-level art project and was probably titlled "genocide" or something equally creepy. It's basically a repeat of someones face done in loads of different styles. If you look closer at it, it really doesn't get any better...

There is even one in there that has no eyes.... shudder. So we shall soon be removing this, er thing,  from the wall and painting it a nice plain colour.  We certainly can't just paper over it, because we'll know that it's still there looking at us.....

A new friend at George Street

Whilst pottering around our new garden at George Street I had a close encounter with my new friend, our local Robin who spends a lot of his time in our apple tree. In fact any other Robins who pass by get seen off in no uncertain terms, so our garden is clealy his patch. Mr Eb and I spent about an hour or so weeding around the bottom of this accompanied the whole time by a very brave and curious Robin who sat above us keeping up a constant stream of whistles and whirrs. I hope that he does not mind us being here and is just curious and looking for some food as he seemed very excited and nearly ended up sitting on my leg at one point! I only took a few snaps as he took definite exception to the chirrup my camera makes when it focuses and dive bombed me to try and scare off an obvious competitor!  I've started putting food out and hopefully we'll soon have more birds and keep on seeing this little chap.

September so far...

..has been sooooooooooo busy!  First off it was my 30th birthday! Bit of a weird sensation as as I get older I am more conscious of the whole life expectancy issues of having CF, but never mind nothing I can really do about it so I shall just try and ignore it! My birthday was great, Mr EB, my parents and I pottered off to Wimpole Home Farm to have a quiet walk about and a really great lunch at the fab restaurant there.  We then spent the rest of the day flopping about as we were all knackered from the other big event of September, namely Mr EB and I moving into our lovely new house!  I love our new house, and will post photos just as soon as I can remember which box my camera got packed in... I actually had my 30th birthday party the day after we moved in, which was the day after my actual birthday.  It was not meant to be as hectic as this but the move date got shoved back and back again several times so that our original early August date became mid September.  Ah well, after much scrubbing and cleaning (the last owners seem to have stopped cleaning once the offer was accepted...) we got the basics sorted out.  We'll still  be living from boxes for a while but it is fantastic to have so much space! Can't wait to get everything totally unpacked and sort out all the annoying little DIY jobs that need doing...
