Thank you, it is rather nice here now and still quite surreal considering how derelict and deteriorated it was beforehand. But I still find it hard to understand why I appear to be so good at what I can do with it feeling quite natural to achieve whilst watching many others struggle trying to do the same thing. Perhaps I am just one of life's eccentrics.
