Lovely to see you, Maddy. Well I’m hoping to redefine sexy, so I’ll let you know what it means when I’m done. It’s certainly going to include being 48 or more, and I think there will be a soupcon of busy and distracted. We could call our wrinkles the face of experience, or the face of life. Yes, it has potential, I’ll keep working on it.

An excellent word indeed! I’ll be 48 in August and I don’t think I can even define sexy any more, so you’re way ahead of the bell curve.
Cheers

Thanks Jayne, and well done putting spifflicate so smoothly into a sentence . I could see it in a Monty Python sketch, like, ‘I vomit on you from high places and spifflicate you very much with a stick.’

Good luck with the move and all, Hilary!

Lovely to see you again, A-mum. You *have* been busy being, as you are, very generous with your time. I’m getting that you love this whole blog design field and that it is, apparently, your forte. Or one of your fortes anyway.

That’s a good point Jeanie, there are occasionally rental places that have about a 4 week lead time which is probably a good indication of the relationship between tenant and agent.

I had never heard of it either, Debs, which makes it hard to use confidently in a sentence. But I guess we could use it with reasonable impunity since I bet it’s a very rare person who’s ever heard of it.

Spifflicate is not a word that I’ve come across before, so thanks for that, I love new words.

Best of luck with the move, it sounds complicated but exciting too.

Its exciting but scary, isn’t it?

I have done the “go back” thing – to Brisbane across about the same time span. Changes to who you are means you get the town with new eyes but at least have an idea of the geography.

Good luck! There are good rentals that have longer lead times – generally that means good tenants giving good notice to good landlords. Just a matter of sourcing them…
