Friday Night Free For All

Many years ago I sold a house. It was during the time of high interest rates and low sales, so I didn't do great, but I did OK. But recently, I was checking out how other property sales went at that time, and I'm thinking maybe I could have done a bit better. I now need to track down the buyer, and redress the previous wrongs incurred when I accepted the offer on the table. I think that owner added a deck to the place, and that escalated the value considerably. I was going to add a deck - certainly the house design allowed for it. I reckon I deserve a share of that capital gain too. It's all about justice and fairness, isn't it?

Do you reckon I'm leading too early with this satire?

It was just a passing thought, and passing thoughts are de rigeur for Friday. That's de rigeur in the English usage, meaning according to fashion; the usual. The stricter French interpretation would be, err, stricter, if you get my drift. Another passing thought, but I'll leave foreign phrases for another post. Right now it's the weekly Pizza and Kebab run. This is a weird household.

Still, all of this chatter was just to distract us from the Christchurch quakes, because maybe our Christchurch friends are a little tired of having it kept uppermost in their minds. Still (if I can use that word), with ongoing aftershocks, it's probably impossible à faire . Oops there's another one of those phrases. Saying impossible à faire is saying "impossible to do" but switch it around to faire l'impossible and suddenly we are doing one's utmost. I like the French language, must learn it properly one day. Given the quake, are other people thinking about what things might be a little more important to get done, or does that come after getting things back to normal?

Drop a line and share a thought. It's Friday. I raise my glass and offer a toast to our blog readers good health!
