I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where's the self-help section?'
She wouldn't tell me. She said it would defeat the whole purpose.

The eagle has landed


Those were the words used by the real estate agent who just rang. He had told me some months earlier that there was a prospective buyer all the way up there in Belgium who would like to have a look at "Riverbend". Apparently, he has now "landed" and is looking at property and may want to inspect "Riverbend" as well and am I still interested in selling and at what price?


I gave him my price and referred him to my website but I won't lose any sleep over it as I've been through all this before back in 2006 when it seemed a buyer had been lined up only for the whole thing to fall through at the last minute.

If it happens, it happens; if it doesn't, it doesn't!
