Riverside Living
I had very fixed ideas of where I wanted to live when I was house hunting. Not location wise (I really didn’t care as long as it was a nice place and commutable), but in terms of what the flat (because I pretty much knew I’d be getting a flat) looked like, what the local area would be like, how big the rooms would be, the type of flooring etc. I managed to get everything I wanted except for a riverside flat. That requirement was putting an extra £100k (at least) on the price and moving me too far away from stations and ameinaties. As it is I’ve got a nice wooded area behind me and a river within easy walk so I get much of the benifit without all the mossies 
Anyway, it seems that I am likely to get that wish fulfilled today. It’s absolutely bloody pissing it down at the moment (I’ve had to turn the light on it’s got so dark), my balcony is underwater and if it keeps up at the rate the road out the back is going to be a nice river, which I shall call the River Dom. I’ll also be renaming the local area Domford 
Two things:
1. Post pics!
2. My employer no longer considers your blog to be a pr0n site, so I can comment from work.
Pics weren’t really doing it justice and it’s all dried up now. ‘Twas very exciting though. Hurrah for your employer seeing sense. Will be interesting to see if Linklaters still blocks it
Strangely, my employer has had a similar change of heart.
Clearly the same web filter lists in use
Domford sounds way too much like Romford to me - your living room would then become the equivilant of that garish Ster Century cinema place next to the railway
Yes, I was a little concerned about Romford and Domford sounding alike but rest assured in Domford we speak the queens english, not some Essex variant thereof, uttering the word ‘innit’ is punishable by death unless you are talking about an initialisation method in a program and the local currency is the pound sterling, not the saarf london paaaand which they seem to have adopted in western parts of the county. Furthermore anyone shouting ‘lager, lager, lager’ will not be allowed to come back to Domford and, indeed, may also open themselves up for shooting.
That’s why I’m glad to live in the sunny place on earth
You may live somewhere sunny but, and I must stress this, I’d give cold and damp over tectonically unstable any day
The only ‘Big One’ they talk about over here is when one of my mates comes back form active duty and goes on a mahooosive bender
