Collie Hysteria

There was a certain wildness to our game this afternoon, at least from Flash who I always know is getting silly when he barks with a wide open mouth.  Ben, merely sits and stares at his back.  Very strange.

We went to view a flat today that we would love to be able to help our youngest son buy.  However, I think we were just too ambitious/impulsive as I don't think he has a cat in hell's chance of being allowed to have the mortgage he would need.  What spurred us to start dreaming was that the place he is living in now, (a room for 650 a month) is really horrible. It turned out that the landlord had not been paying any council tax and was furious because youngest son had been required to provide details of his address to the council.  The council therefore caught up with the landlord and he, in turn, decided to scream abuse at youngest son.  I think the rental market is just so unregulated and leaves tenants so vulnerable.
