I had a sneaking suspicion the apartment Phil & I rent would be coming up for sale and this morning our letting agent confirmed it. We had a valuer and surveyor in recently and it all pointed towards the apartment being sold. If they sell it and the new buyers wish to move in, we are going to have 2 months to find somewhere else to live (although he did say we could agree an earlier date but thats not bloody likely from our end considering we only just moved in, now we are going to have to put up with people trapsing through the apartment and having to possibly move out after only 6 months). I can see positives - we can still find somewhere in Bow Quarter with perhaps outdoor space and away from the trains but I can see negatives - we are just settled in, we have to move our furniture, we may not find something suitable in BQ and not to mention changing our address on everything again! I guess thats the breaks with renting and not owning.
Phil and I went down to
Canterbury on the weekend. Saw the Cathedral and walked around the town centre. We then drove along the coast, through Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and then finished up in
Sandwich (the place!) for a nice seafood meal at
The Quay Side. I had lemon sole which was slightly undercooked but the vegies that went with it were really fresh and more than made up for it. Phil had sea bass with spinach and potatoes. I think he made the better choice as that looked and tasted fantastic. It was just a pity that the weather turned bad as soon as we got to the coast. I'll put up my pics tonight.
Sunday, I did some cleaning and prepared a roast dinner for a work friend Stu. It was his birthday Saturday and he hadn't been to our apartment before. Was a nice evening - just wish my cooking was a bit better! Didn't quite get to ride down along the canal to Camden but perhaps next weekend :)
