It's been a bit of a non-sleep sort of night from a combination of stressful thoughts that make me want to cry and reading a fair chunk of "Looking for Alaska" by John Green which does actually make me cry.

Therefore I've been doing a bit of digital flat/cottage hunting, mostly around the Holmfirth-y sort of area. I do fail a bit in that I've fallen in love with the kitchen of one place, the bathroom and bedroom of another and then been swayed by another because it has red carpet in its combined kitchen lounge and up the stairs. Yes, the thought "Oooh, it's red!" really does factor hugely into my house wantage, it seems.

Another phrase that unexpectedly made me swoon just now was: "The cellar has been tanked out and with a laminate floor makes an ideal stone vaulted study."

Never have I wished real life could be like the Sims more than now. I could have my perfect house in less than three hours. :-)
