We found out last week that the whoever owns our unit has defaulted on the mortgage and the lender wants vacant possession - understandably! There is some question as to who actually owns the unit as there are several names on the court document - none of whom are the landlord. Since it all sounds distinctly dodgy, we decided to start looking around.
Can I tell you how depressing this is? There is not much out there and what is available in our area is pretty grim. At one of the inspections another lady was muttering about the need for a good dose of Domestos and I have to agree with her. The one bright spot in an otherwise disheartening day was this jacaranda.
Sadly, not even the proximity of this lovely tree could compensate for the dire state of the inside of the unit! I was extraordinarily fed up and grumpy by the end of the day. The thought of relocating the stash - let alone anything else - is quite overwhelming!
On the knitting front there are a few items off the needles - hoorah!
The socks that were started in July in Knitabulous Ultimate sock yarn in Chrome:
And the Trinity Shawl made from the one of the Lush Yarns Pink Ribbon Day special yarns.
This was a very satisfying knit. It knitted up quickly and the yarn - a fifty / fifty blend of silk & merino was beautiful to work with.
