a busy day at our new old house

call the cops (again)
most people have some kind of religious conversion on arrival and walk about going 'JESUS CHRIST', 'OH MY GOD', 'JESUS!'
i said to the locksmith, who had told me that i was very brave, not to say anything like that when he met my wife later.
the first thing he said to lucy was, 'you're brave moving to a house like this'
:/
today
i caused another rail incident
this time, we were first visited by two network rail crew, and then a network rail operations manager and three british transport police.
'we've had reports of a lady waving a metal rod, standing on a wall'
that was sean, putting up 130ft of razor wire along our perimeter
sorting this took a while, standing in the rain, with the police and network rail
but was eventually resolved
a lesson in mediation and negotiation: a new 'me': not starting with 'fuck you and fuck off'
so we were allowed to finish with the razor wire defences
HOPEFULLY our new old house will be less burgled than it was previously
also had new door locks and window locks fitted, had a security grill survey, electric survey and a roof survey
lunch with lucy and melinda (down for the day) at the railway tavern which served a very tasty lunch
dropped the perou-batmobile to sittingbourne for upgraded audio head unit, speakers, dabs aerial, central locking and USB ports
and our resident permit parking came through
NOT that we'll be leaving our cars on the road overnight
