Returned to my room here in the Welbeck after a "full English breakfast" all energized and ready to engage the new home hunting process, only to discover that, after several calls to the estate agents for the properties I had identified as of interest, no home hunting is going to occur today (or tomorrow for that matter).
Unlike Sydney, where the real estate agents' busiest days are Saturday and Sunday (well people work during the week don't they) our gentle real estate agents here in Nottingham keep banking hours - every one I rang this Saturday morning was closed! It was then I thought to ring Sue McKnight, NTU's Director of Libraries and Knowledge Resources and an Aussie to boot, to say "Help!", well more just to say g'day and make myself known to her, but she understood the plaintive tones and saved the day with an invitation to join her and husband, Brian, for lunch and a roast lamb for dinner (yum!). Now to find an off-license so that I don't turn up empty-handed.
