Looking for things

beccaelizabethMum is now helping with the house hunting. This seems to consist of walking beside me saying 'you can't afford anything along here' without looking at the listings. but walking beside me is the really useful part.
So we walked from Debenhams where the 8 bus stops all down the Unthank Road up to Colman Road. Which is when I got grumpy and decided it was Too Far. And that's just outside my search radius for houses. So I have been looking in the right radius, I can indeed walk that far, at least with a sit down at the Subway for a sandwich. The roads that go off it all go up a hill so mum says they'll be slip slidey in winter. But there's a bus stop at regular intervals so I could get the 25 bus in, which is what I did on the way back, because Far.
... people who can walk much further than that, yaay you, but I find it quite challenging, which makes house hunting more complex.
Going on the bus makes it seem not very Far at all, but wherever I go I'd still have to walk to and from the bus and wait for it, so I think the edges are still in the right places.
Next Adventure, unless we find a specific house to go view, I can do the same along the other university bus route, and see where is Far along there.
Hopefully we will do the specific house viewing thing. They keep selling and then I have to wait for another one to turn up.
Housing is cool.
Also when we took the bus back we went to the Castle so I could pick my books up from Waterstones. New Seanan McGuire for me :-)
Successful day.
