Yes, I wish the Chef was my enforcer :)

when i moved to my new place, i kept my old home as a rental property – knowing i would be a pushover for a hardluck story, i hired a property manager to be the ‘tough guy’, so i would never meet the lodgers. it worked reasonably well - but the stress drove me batty.

Hello Classy!

No I didn’t. I’m afraid that after that rather alarming 4am visit from the police and their van–they were obviously ready to take someone away with them–I found out from her careless settings on a social media site that she says she’s working in an amusement arcade. Nothing on there about trouble with the law though.

So no idea! If you see her, remind her she owes me 300 quid.

Going slightly off topic, did you ever find out why the police were looking for Gail?

That sounds pretty good. I just wondered, from the tenant’s pov, whether having the agent poking around every month might seem a tad intrusive. But you’ve got far more experience than I, and I appear to be getting shafted–again.

Once a month… My remedial repair costs for the entire portfolio last year amounted to £1890. I can live with that.

CF: I somehow can’t imagine many people looking forward to that “visit". I’m rather pathetic at anything approaching intimidation, being a lanky 9st arts graduate.

You inspect the properties once a month? That seems a bit much.

Isabelle: That’s very sweet of you and were that miraculous thing ever to happen we would have the finest party ever to take place on either side of the Pennines.

I’m sure I’ve read Russell’s essay in the distant past but that’s a great suggestion, thanks.

Kitty last year gave me a collection of essays by Scott called “An Apology for Idlers".

When I read your blog I’m often reminded of the sentiment behind the essay by Bertrand Russell, ‘In Praise of Idleness’. You’ve probably read it, but if you haven’t, I reckon you’d like it, it’s only short and it’s a great read.

I hope you manage to find something you like doing and get paid for it. If I won the lottery (if I did the lottery) I’d send you over a big wad of cash and hope for an invite to the party.
