It's a beautiful sunny morning, I have had a bacon sandwich and all is right with the world.
Fellow B3TANs, there are many things to do this weekend, the days are full promise so my question is this.

How long are you going to whinge about having to tidy up the garden?

Alt: Will you be spending time in the shed?

Runner beans taste totally different fresh from the vines. They're almost like sugarsnaps.
You should grow stuff you can't buy in the shops, like weird tomartos and american harribo.

Most of the main york city houses are of a style that I like
Mine is an 1880's three story town house with lots of the original features
(, Sat 13 Apr 2013, 9:54, Reply)
mine is a three bedroom redbrick terrace
The most expensive street in York is just up the road from here; St Pauls Square. Beautiful townhouses with a private garden in the square. A newbuild went up for sale there last year for 1.1 million. There's loads of Victorian houses because of the railway boom. Round my way is where railway middle management would have lived.

they don't have the charm of period houses.
I was doing some work the other week and found an empty pack of Park Row cigarettes under the floorboards. Probably from it being built, how cool is that?

most of the major house builders, fling up cheap cubes using the some of the worst constuction methods
One of the few that do actually build nice properties is Charles Church

I'm not looking to move.
Waiting to see where York's HS2 station will be. Likely be very near my house as there's a massive brownfield site near the station. If that gets announced near me then it'll hopefully whack a fair bit of value on.
(, Sat 13 Apr 2013, 10:15, Reply)
Quite a bit of mixed feeling on the HS2 and property values
I think it will be a good thing
(, Sat 13 Apr 2013, 10:29, Reply)
York's a nice place to live, and although expensive compared to avetage wages in the vicinity
Is affordable with London money.

London commuters already live here, so if the HS2 hub was within easy walking distance of my house, as the main station is, then an already charming and desirable part of a charming and desirable city will probably get a decent rise in value.

I paid a man to do my garden a couple of days ago.
This means I can get on with the more important business of sitting down enjoying my garden, so no whinging here.

It's a piece of cheap crap I got from Ebay - so far I've got the action down from 'cheesegrater' to 'playable but the intonation's off.

I paid £30 on Ebay
It's a basic instrument and needed setting up. I do setups and repairs to acoustic guitars anyway so it was a logical step. It's all useful experience - a bit frustrating though as it has a floating bridge so intonating it is a pain!
