I'm glad that the moving/sprucing up the apartment went mostly well (other than factors you couldn't really control). I wish you best of luck selling the old place.

Yeah. I found several lovely flats when I was idly looking a year or two back. Jane congratulated me on locating some excellent value properties right next to Saughton prison, and told me she'd visit at least once a year.
