Having another Geoff Day

Mia wanted some help with her English to Finnish film translation work. Em suggested the use of Urban Dictionary which is really very good especially for finding out current meaning of your name, we discovered that bingham is a fat lady  not the place in Nottingham where my sister lived 😉

She also rather liked the definition for Emily! Although I prefer the Geoff day.

New iPhone wordpress application

Just trying out writing a post using the new free WordPress application on the iPhone. Seems very neat so far.
Crashed when trying to add a picture and posted multiple blank posts 🙁 Now trying with no pictures!

Cambridge property going South….

Cheffins held a property auction in Cambridge yesterday (which i missed 🙁 ). This fine 3 bed semi in Lovell Road CB4 2QW was predicted, prior to the auction,  to make £180K to £200K in fact it didn’t reach £118K . Oops it made £179,500

Only 8 of the 15 lots were sold at the auction. So it looks as though the property crash has finally hit Cambridge (again). I wonder if it will take 15 years to recover this time.

Update:

From the excellent Estate angels website I found some historic prices for Lovell Road:

Lovell Road House Prices 2000 - 2007
Lovell Road House Prices 2000 - 2007

Yesterdays price of £118K £179,500 takes as back in time to 2000!  Eight two years of Cambridge property inflation wiped out in one month or so…
