the housing shuffle

I’ll get to the plausibility-of-god issue later, now to spend some time catching up with the diary, before heading off to buy a new pedo, etc etc, I didn’t get to Orang Utang last night, followed the path of least resistance once more, but at least I was out and about yesterday and tonight maybe I’ll go to see a film like I promised myself. It’s taken me some time today to shake off various commitments, interferences, interactions as well as some sluggishness to get back on track, much time and energy spent on the housing front, considering the permutations for the tenancy of our housing stock old and new, and the situation should be clearer by next Wednesday when we will be handed we hope the keys to two newly built houses, on Browning Street on the site of two old demolished houses which latterly belonged to La Luna, one of which I even lived in briefly. The La Luna housing shuffle involves various complex steps from our various complex members, but I’ve managed to eliminate a couple of participants through a couple of very potent phone calls. We now know that Karen’s taking Wilkins Street and that Nikki’s taking Nieass Place. We know that Jenna’s taking one of the Browning Street properties, so the property she’s vacating in Young Avenue will probably go to James. However, the other Browning Street property is at issue. Chris has changed her mind about taking it, preferring to remain in Mackay Street. Corey’s mildly interested in it, and if he does, his place at Blight Street will be taken by Sarah. That will mean me moving in next door, and my place at Exeter Tce becoming available to all those on the waiting list. It’s quite possible that either Isabella and family or Alex and family could be interested in it, which would make one of the Wilkinson Court houses available. I doubt if Serina would be interested in any of these places though she wishes to remain on the waiting list, and could conceivably be interested in Exeter Tce if the above don’t want it.
Now there’s a fair likelihood that Corey won’t take Browning Street, and no other member wants it as far as I’m aware, so it may be offered to prospective member James, and if he accepted (though I suspect he’d prefer to take up the more modest offer of Young Avenue), then that would bring our current guest Ralph into the picture. He’s keen to join La Luna and has housing difficulties as I write. Even if James refused Browning Street, Ralph could be offered it, and everyone would be more or less happy except Sarah who’s finding her place too big to manage, but that sense may change as the junky’s junk is cleared out. Still, she’ll have little Courtney indefinitely and that will make keeping up with the housework and garden well-nigh impossible. And with this little dance recording I’m almost up to date with my diarising. All hinges on Browning Street, which should be resolved by next weekend.
