Now my mothers are back from their two week holiday I finally relented and went to visit them for a few days in Salisbury. The purpose of going down for a couple of days was to fit into the routine rather then do anything special. As a result I spent the time doing pretty much what I would have done anyway only with a dog constantly slumped on my lap.
For example rather then going to the pub for dinner onTuesday evening I went to the pub on Tuesday afternoon for lunch after taking the dog for a stupidly long walk in the forest. I also took a look at where my mother's new house is going to be. I'm not sure if I mentioned it or whether it got drowned out by the last Gaza war but my mother has sold her apartment in Croydon and brought a house in Salisbury. The advantage of this is that the price difference between Croydon and Salisbury is that she could buy a bigger property which commands higher rents cancelling out the difference. As a result I didn't really have enough of an opinion to warrant mentioning it at the time
Obviously I didn't say I was leaving on Monday due to security concerns. However I was rapidly provided with an example of one of the other main differences between Croydon and Salisbury when there was a small, low speed car crash in which bumpers were definitely scratched. Both drivers though decided that they needed to report the collision to the police. If that wasn't shocking enough the police actually turned up presumably to say; "Yeah that'll buff straight out."
Anyway I'm back now.
