Another house for rent in downtown Kirkwall – looks pretty good for my needs. Pets allowed, a yard garden (must learn the local lingo – a yard is small cemented area where you keep your bins), 2 bdrm. Of course, as it’s for rent now, it will be gone long before I get there. And, as the real estate agent said when he wrote back, “due to the high level of interest . . .”, it confirms everyone else’s comments about properties being as rare as hen’s teeth. Oh dear.
I keep telling myself, you can always start in a self-catering and keep looking. But they’re more expensive – ah well, it will all work out.
CB was telling me about the software she is using to manage her move, and it reminded me of a book I had read last year on productivity. I think I’m going to re-play the audio book and download the Trello planning software – up until now I have been relying on an Excel sheet that is really just a very, very, very long to-do list.
