Blog 144 – 6.11.21. Blah blah blah…a crustie’s (?) manifesto

Blog 116 – 13.5.19…Now, now…
I love it when one of the tenants sends me a text. No I don’t…that’s rubbish. When I get a text late at night about an over-flowing washing machine or a broken light – it’s my job, but it’s not … Continue reading

Blog 80 – 17.6.17. Out of the ashes….
