Yes I think you can see where I'm going with this title!
The leaves are turning, and it was more grey in Aberdeen than usual.
Cold too!
This is Rubislaw Terrace Gardens, just next to my office.

Atempting to cheer ourselves up, from yesterday!
We're trying to sell our flat, it's been on the market for 8 weeks.
We just found out yesterday our neighbours have also decided to sell.
And undercut our price by, well, a lot.
Just as we've spent money on advertising the place.

I can't make up my mind, as it's maybe not all doom and gloom though -
due to the quirks of the scottish legal system, the price you ask for
isn't the price you expect to receive.

Beautiful looking park. Those colours should be very rich in a week or two.

Know what. On Wednesday, while I was waiting for Sílvia, I went to FNAC and bought a book to read... I got "Retratos de uma ilha pequena" by Bill Bryson... He finds the good in every town he visits, but he didn't have much nice to say about Aberdeen! As for me, I have relatives up there (originally from Alford), and I can't understand a word they say. Still, think of a number, then double it and advertise that as 'Offers Over', and you'll get more than you ask for. Although, I might be inclined to speak to your neighbour's estate agent (or arrange to view it yourself)! Good luck with the sale.

Nice colours - I do miss seeing those lovely Autumn leaves. Good luck with the flat - keep positive and it will happen!

The joys of selling... Aberdeen still banned from entering Britain in Bloom?
