Cup runneth over and spills on the carpet and floods the kitchen
Was hovering around the-house-thats-almost-ours like some sort of weatherboard-vulture over the weekend, pestering the almost-past-owners with daft questions and comments. I mentioned my plan to plant an olive tree whereupon one of them looked at me oddly and said "But there's ten out the back." Ten olive trees! In OUR backyard! Not to mention the apple, quince, lemon and mulberry trees. Did I mention the mulberry tree? Should I mention it again? Muuuuulberry tree.
I assumed I'd passed out, gone to heaven and imagined it all but Ron assures me he heard it too, (although with considerably less excitement as somehow I ended up married to a non-fruit-eater ....)and yes, apparently, it's all REAL!
One and a half hours to settlement.
