melinda asked me about adoption and whether i would consider it or not. the funny thing is, before i stopped thinking about having children i always assumed i would adopt. i have no idea why i would assume that but when i was younger it never occurred to me that i would have my own children. i would simply gather up all the unloved children and make them my own. then i stopped thinking about having children altogether. now, i have to admit, i want my own children. i want to be pregnant. i want to create a life that's a little bit me and hopefully a lot of the cg. if that can't happen i would definitely rethink the whole adoption thing but at the moment it's too early to give up hope that we will have a child of our own.
this month is going to be quite a challenge. we have the renovations going on all month and we have dutch M staying with us during the peak period. i'm not sure how we are going to manage it but somehow we are going to have to keep abandoning him to have sex. hmmm...that actually sounds like fun.

we have a serious contender for "best all round place for us to buy a house and live happily ever after". after an initial disappointment due to the fact that there are no companies who do the work the cg does we found a way around this. the place we are considering is york and the way around is a short 25 minute train journey to leeds where the company the cg used to work for in london has another office. (this journey being about an hour shorter than the one he would have had to do from brighton to london). there are many advantages to living in york. the first being that it is a beautiful old roman/viking city with a river running down the middle. the second is that there are some amazing and affordable (C$600k - C$850k) old victorian town houses which are close to the town centre (shopping, pubs and restaurants) and to the train station (the office in leeds is also close to the train station). the other big advantage is that in addition to the fact that my cousin already lives there with his wife to be, it's pretty close to the town where my parents live...but not so close that they would be popping in every day. there are also a couple of universities in york which means i could go back to doing what i did before i moved out here which would be great.
so all i need to do now is get pregnant. not that there's any pressure or anything :)
