Airports and houses
Oct. 5th, 2006 11:03 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
My aunt left yesterday morning. We drove her to the airport and helped her check in. And then she left. This week just passed way to quickly. We're pestering her about coming up and joining us for christmas, so am hoping that will happen.
We had a showing of the house yesterday afternoon as well. My parents and I left the house while it was going on and left it to the real estate guy. When we got back we were met by some pleasant news, we'd already gotten a bid. It was for our asking price, but we decided to wait until the deadline, which is today at 12 a.m. to give a final answer in case there would be some other bids. There were two couples who came after the official showing as well, so they have the details as well. There's a woman coming now, to have a look as well. The doorbell just rang, so I'm guessing that's her. She doesn't have long if she wants to put in a bid... 45 minutes.
Y'all know I'm not crazy about the whole moving idea, but this still is kind of exiting. Seing how much well get for the house and how many people are interested. There were quite a few interested yesterday, but after the first bid, most of them have pulled out. There is another guy who got the papers though, so if he really wants to put in a bid, we should hear something soon.
I do hope we'll get another bid though, it is a very nice house. Plus it would be great for my parents, that way they know what they can look for if that flat we found doesn't happen.
I don't really have much else to tell at the moment. Kind of caught up in the whole sale thing.
They were just up here looking, I don't know, they didn't seem that entusiastic, but they might just been holding on to their poker faces.
I'll spam you with some more Norwegian artists:

Ugress's music can be related to other artists as Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers and Propellerheads. Some similarity to Röyksopp have been suggested, but Ugress is described as having a more "dirty" style. Ugress is also known for using lots of sample snippets from various artists and tv shows.
