Skip had a great time at the walk through on our house. Turns out it was an almost two-hour deal where they went through this ridiculously extensive checklist. I had asked him if he wanted Maddie and I to meet the people, and (both of us thinking it would be a quick thing), he said he would go. I'm kind of glad he did. Sorry he had to endure the long process, but after how unresponsive that same management company has been to all the problems we've had in the house, I think I really would have blown up if they had a problem with anything. I think we're in the clear on it all.
Oh, and this was his bonus. I had cleaned out the fridge, removed all the shelves and cleaned them--even put the acrylic door shelves through the dishwasher. It sparkled. In all of my efforts, I totally neglected the freezer! It was full when he arrived at the house this morning and he had to throw everything out! So he has had a super day.
Maddie and I braved the heat and the train systems and took an hour-and-a-half trip into the city. Living way out here in Teddington this week makes me so glad that we went for the smaller, closer-to-the-city house. We met Maddie's friend and her little sister and brother at the Museum of Childhood, where there is a special Roald Dahl exhibit and then we hit the Princess Diana Memorial Park. They had such a good time, in spite of the heat!
Maddie and I had to shower and change by the time we made it home after two tube lines and a train (all without air conditioning). They are making announcements and posting signs urging commuters to always travel with a bottle of water. We were so sweaty and dusty and gross by the time we made it home. We are going to arrive at my in-laws with a ton of super smelly clothes.
