Our House in the Middle of the...


Field?

Not quite in the middle of the street, more at the corner of the new development.
This is the front - spare bedroom top left, bathroom in the middle, another bedroom top right.
bottom left is the living room and bottom right is the kitchen window.



Side view - doors to garden from living room and master bedroom window above it and some view of the garden too.

Right hand side of house showing bedroom window on top floor and dining room window below it
View from the front of the house - across a parkland area and in the background you can just make out the lights from the local football teams pitch.
And finally the path that runs to the wooded area

Not really much to see at the moment - we've only just finalised the paperwork today for the carpets, tiles, flooring and kitchen units today. Fingers crossed that I can get the network cable purchased, measured and cut before they put the plasterboard up. I plan to network the rooms in the house and the kind people at work have already given me some patch cables and a patch panel to get the network started. This is going to be my first geeky project, next is to get the surround sound cables in too.

Life after a BSc

I was going to blog about life after studying for a BSc, but you know what it sounded really dull. Yep I got a BSc, that was exciting, I still have the graduation ceremony to look forward to but that's a few months away yet and that will be exciting too. I've been made an unconditional offer of a Masters in HCI (Human Computer Interaction) which I'm thinking about - yep that's exciting also. But what's really exciting just now (and also hugely stressful) is that we are buying a brand new house. Yipppeeee!

This may sound strange but (fingers crossed that all contracts are exchanged and there are no further little hiccups) this one feels like a proper house. Detached, with a garage, spare room for guests - or a study for me. A nice sized kitchen/dining room.. I could go on but I wont bore you. But you know what I mean - we love our current house but now we have outgrown her and we're ready to move on. Did I say I was REALLY excited about a brand new kitchen? yes? oh ok then
