There will, I expect, be more posts from me on this subject in the near future, because it has become a very large part of my life. But for now, it is probably enough to say that getting yourself a house is an enormous process that takes up a lot of your time and energy, and has far reaching consequences for the whole of your life. It is difficult and tiring.
On the other hand, though, it’s one of the best things ever, and it has made us this happy.
Normal service will resume in February. In the meantime, if you need me, I’ll be trying to find something in a box that is under three other boxes at the back of a room full of boxes.

What do you mean this isn’t an article about Hugh Laurie’s US drama series?
Hugh Laurie’s US drama series “House” is very clearly there if you pay attention. Read it again.
I have read it again and you’re right, I completely missed the section about ‘House’ during ‘House’.
Erm, it was in-between the bit about hands and the bit about boxes, right?
Probably. I’d have to go back and check my notes. It’s not in the first sentence though, because I distinctly remember writing the first sentence, and the subtext of that is mostly to do with how long it’s been since anyone tried to serve me a bit of cheese and pineapple on a cocktail stick.
I like Kate’s tiny gold microphone. Were you singing karaoke when you moved in?
She was wheeled into the house on some kind of plinth, dressed as Mariah Carey, singing the songs from ‘Music Box’.. Chris has talked about this for years; it was his dream and it finally came true.
Yes. We sang all the hits from Music Box, including a very moving duet on “Hero”.
I’m glad, mate, that you finally managed to convince someone to do it that didn’t involve chloroform and/or kidnapping their dog and holding it to ransom.
Sort of similar to that Mel Gibson film, you know, the one where his son gets kidnapped and then he goes on the telly to say there’s money in it if someone finds where he is. What’s it called? What Women Want?
No, you’re thinking of The Passion of the Christ. Classic Gibson.
That’s it, The Passion of the Gibson. Classic.
