Topi: easily the species we saw most of during our safari. Interestingly, warthogs use the Topi (and other taller species) as a kind of early warning system. I suppose you need all the help you can get when you’re knee-high to a cheetah…

Eyes
Intent
Another from the evening when Kitty and Kaboo were ‘guarding’ the house from the local tom. Their definition of guarding seems to differ from mine though. I don’t think running into the house and hissing at each other helps much…
(Technically, yes, this was posted on the 2nd of May, but I started writing on the 1st, so I fudged the date a little. That’s nothing to do with wanting to maintain my ‘photo-a-day’ record at all, obviously…)
Spooky
About 10 hours ago I said:
My biggest concern at the moment is that we’ll see the house we want and be beaten to it
Both of the houses we were interested in have been ‘tied-up’ today before we even got a chance to look at them.
(“Tied Up” – I’m assuming that means “sold”, but I’m not completely sure…)
Househunting
Hmmm, there seems to be a distinct lack of picture today. This is mainly due to being a bit preoccupied with becoming Kent’s latest property mogul. We have spoken to a mortgage advisor, and ventured into some estate agents to register our details. We’ve even spotted a house we like the look of.
This is where bloggers usually tend to quote some statistic about housebuying being one of the most stressful things you do in life. Well, cliché or not, I can quite believe it, so if anyone has any advice please do feel free to share. My biggest concern at the moment is that we’ll see the house we want and be beaten to it, since we can’t devote 100% of our time to the process.
