the reckoning draws near

At our partners meeting today I was finally able to winkle out from a curiously reluctant partner what their valuation of my building comes to. Turns out it's £270,000, only £6000 less than mine. Of course this does not take into account the bill to fix the damp in the cellar, but it is still a lot better than I had hoped. So as long as fixing the damp doesn't go into 5 figures (please don't tell me it could) I shall be making a reasonable profit. Which is only fair, as GPs regard this as an important (if unofficial) part of our retirement package.

At home I am now working on the second draft of my new "non-fiction short story" sort of post Truman Capote if you like. My wife made some approving noises, so I feel encouraged it might go down well.
