Things are slowly moving in the direction of London. Ammon will be meeting with his manager today to discuss the career side of things. Since Ammon will be leaving his team here, we’re assuming his boss won’t be highly enthusiastic about the idea, but he’s a good guy so hopefully he’ll be supportive. I’ve been looking into what to do with our house while we’re gone, since we really don’t want to sell. We might list it with a real estate property management company so they can deal with leasing it for us. I’ve also been researching places to live in the London area, but I’ve run into a few snafus. The apartment listings are full of cryptic messages and secret codes. For example:

Spacious ff detached hs with 4 db b/rooms in immac cond in gd area.Master b/room with en-suite,lg bathroom,lg lounge with dining area,lg kitchen,w.c,reception area,cloakroom,gdn,garage&lg driveway.Fit with security system.Profs only.Avail May.£1400 ono

What’s ff? Fantastically Freaky? I don’t know if I’m comfortable with that. And what in the world is an en-suite? I guess they’ll only rent to you if you speak French. It says there’s a lg bathroom and a w.c. which confuses me to no end, since I thought a WC was a bathroom. And Profs only? I have to be French and a professor? They’re really narrowing down their options here. And I have no clue what £1400 ono means. My only guess is they missed the “B” in Bono, meaning you have to be a French professor Bono look-alike.

These people are seriously picky.
