Monday 10 May:

A very frustrating day. I decided not to bother with my morning walk… mind too pre-occupied about potential flat purchase.
Morning coffee with Ru (who was working in her studio today) and Moira - M had to depart for her x-ray at the BRI…
Sketched during the course of the morning.
Drafted a note to Laurence in anticipation of Nick getting back to us with confirmation that our offer had been accepted etc.
Eventually (just before 2pm), Nick range to say there had been two OTHER offers(!)(strange that it’s been on the market for a little time and, then, suddenly…)… first time buyer and also someone who wanted it for letting. Looks as if we’re second favourites (but who knows?). M+I chatted and decided to increase our offer to the asking price (£375K)… Nick promised a decision by 12noon tomorrow. Hey ho… the frustrations of house purchase!! So, obviously didn’t send my email to Laurence.
Read more of my Atkinson book in the afternoon (although somewhat distracted!).
Evening: another zoom chat with Alan and David… which was good (and, once again, lasted 2.5 hours!!).
Image: “Sometimes you just need to sit and chill” (pretty appropriate words for today!).
