Having seen friends of ours go through 8 years of live-in development of an existing property I think my plan would be to rip down and start anew with all modern features and techniques. Not because of taste (I like all architecture when it is done well) but because of realities.<br /><br />Please forgive me for bragging but my boy is the lead name on this paper presented to the British Neuro Oncology Society in London last year.<br /><br />https://academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology/article-abstract/21/Supplement_4/iv6/5586399<br /><br />The other is a medicinal research chemist working on blood clotting (sticky blood) and treatment of it in relation to CV-19.<br /><br />Our prospective daughter in-law is even better, an utter delight and both Mum and I have told the boys (a bit big for their boots) to eff off and we'll keep her instead !<br /><br />I am actually a very happy Dad at the moment but would love a drink sometime. I just vent now and then on blogs to get it out of my system.E-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657071992016670517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086277371785914704.post-79819966953207658102020-10-25T16:36:57.527+00:002020-10-25T16:36:57.527+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.E-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657071992016670517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086277371785914704.post-44895446994190284402020-10-18T20:04:34.610+01:002020-10-18T20:04:34.610+01:00I can imagine the English rain pelting all those w...I can imagine the English rain pelting all those windows :)Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086277371785914704.post-51069302266263382002020-10-16T16:30:18.590+01:002020-10-16T16:30:18.590+01:00Scrobs, 18 k is nothing to be sneezed at!
