10 out of 10 here as well. I am on holiday this week, and the tv in our apartment has a Dutch channel! So finally, for the first time this season, I was able to watch who is the mole on a television rather than laptop or tablet through uitzending gemist! And then the episode was a bit of a bummer....
Aah well. Last day of my vacation today, thankfully loads of sun so my tan has been slowly improving over the week! Have managed to take loads of pretty pictures, which has improved my mood quite a lot, and discovered a new great game on my tablet. All in all a pretty good week! Back to the UK this weekend, and back to work on Monday... Ah well.

Morning everybody!
I just realized that it was a quiz! Hahaha OMG, I don't know why I thought that it was just an article about words with a double meaning. I found it very weird, therefor my eggplant question (and wondering about the other 9). A quiz makes so much more sense hahaha!
I think it's because someone here was talking about a word with a double meaning and I didn't really bother to read the link properly. Oops!!!

Haha Elfje, hope you're awake now! You can blame the week holiday!
I'm on Zoopla again looking for houses, it's difficult. We want a period house/cottage, a bit rural but not in the middle of nowhere, no busy road nearby because of the cats, good size kitchen and lounge, large garden etc etc . But we will succeed YEAH!!!!!!!

Slofje, I'm on zoopla every day
Did you know that you can create a favourits-list?
Me and Scampman want to move to a village close to where we are living now.
His mom, my mom in law (obviously) she lives with us. She is 85.
So we can't move at the moment
My favourite house has been up for sale, for 2 years now. They are putting the price down every so often.
I want ittttttttt.
I just came back from hospital and I will have an op. on my left shoulder (first).
So in about 12-18 weeks I will know what English hospitals are like
My doctor was so funny and cute! That made the decision a bit easier to make.

That is good news Scamp, your shoulder I mean! Is it not possible to move and take your mum in law with you? I can imagine it's horrible to see your favourite house for sale that long and your not able to buy it grr.
At the moment I get email alerts when new houses come on the market.
Have to go now, skype with Sloffriend

Tejita, soggy, wet toast with scrambled eggs
Slofje, no that's not possible. My mil (mom in law) doesn't want to move (understandable), and that house only has one bedroom.
We live in a really nice 2 bedroom bungalow, in a crescent (dead end) with views over the hills. Not a bad spot to live.
But me and Scampman both dream about this village we love.
There's lots of houses up for sale. But I loveeeeeee that one hehe

Tejita, the game is Kingdom Builder. It is also available as a board game and is fun that way, but unlike settlers of Catan (where the trading part of the game is annoying on the tablet) and Carcassonne (which gets slightly boring on the tablet) this one works really well on the tablet! Happy me.
Scamp, I recognize that feeling! When I was a student a beautiful house near where I lived came up for sale, and I was literally drooling over it! And then I moved to the UK...

mmmmm very curious about that village right now. Maybe we can buy it haha! No serious, I know the prob. I see the most lovely houses, but we can't buy before July/September this year, so all the houses I like are sold by then
Scram, I really find it "super tof" your MIL is living with you.
Oh and the marriage proposal!!! So romantic ! That's something to look forward to!

The village is called Haworth. It's where the Bronte sisters lived and where their father had the parsonage and church.
Thanks Slof, my mil can't live on her own and I could never ever put her in a home. It would feel so wrong.
She's got the biggest part of the house as well Greedy guts
Sloffriend sounds cute!
