The Apple House

Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks. Despite being well ensconced in the 21st Century, it seems telecoms in deepest, darkest Kent still take a fair amount of arranging. We’ve finally got a phone but will be without internet connection for another week or so, and the expensive 3G “dongle” I bought is, when it permits a connection, slower than my first ever dial-up modem. Emails are just about tolerable (no large attachments please!), but web-browsing is less productive than watching glaciers melt.

Anyway, I have bravely ventured into the anarchic void that is Chatham, in order to hurriedly upload a couple of photos of the Apple House as we move in. Despite being surrounded by innumerable cardboard boxes, there is already a distinct vibe of enthusiasm and excitement swirling around what will be A Tiger In Africa’s main base. The space oozes calm and positive energy...

The Apple House - where Dennis will be brought to life in the coming weeks

I'm unashamedly envious and genuinely excited about Dennis.

Does that make me sound gay?

Toodle-pip.

Looks rubbish, you eszhizaauslanderbottomdrawerstuffer. Come back immediately, all new life changing ventures are cancelled!
Yes, Schadenfreude Boy is getting inside my head! I'm going to have to start listening to Motorhead to give him a headbanging he deserves....

What a gorgeous building! Looks very peaceful.

Is it just the upstairs that you have?

@DP - Shall we try a couple of baked bean tins and a piece of string?

@nursey - looks ain't deceiving :-)

@laog - only slightly, but I wouldn't hold it against you.

@70s - fizz...buzz...fizzzz..

@udhschadenfreudemischling - I'll come back. For a price. Where would you like to start?

@Jay - nup, groundfloor too. And the cellar. Although that is hallowed ground and you need a label to get in.
