How could I resist sharing this photo with you? It appears on the website of a North Kent estate agent, and depicts a garage that is available for sale at an advertised price of £7,500.
Did it make you smile, too?

It certainly did, CI! I wouldn't mind taking up residence in there - wonder if one could install a tap and a gas ring...
I have a smiley face alll of my own! We just had some surprise visitors - my second cousin, his wife and two adult offspring...all the way from Australia!They're touring the States for 8 weeks. I haven't seen them in 24 years.
Dolores - you are a kindred spirit!
I believe the Frowny next door to the Smiley has a LOO, so how about we chip in with an extra offer for the Frowny as well?
Just think of it...
You, Me, chipping away at the Breezeblock...
To the en-suite...
:-)
Expat, help!
I've just googled "second cousin", and I've learned...
The degree (first, second, third cousin, etc.) indicates one less than the minimum number of generations between both cousins and the nearest common ancestor.
I'm none the wiser, but I'm hugely happy that you've had a happy surprise!
:-)
Expat - what joyous news - have wonderful times with your visitors!
Oh, CI, I AM thinking of it!! In fact I'd thought the Frowny was included - a sort of semi-detached arrangement catering for whichever side of the bed you got out of...
I'm thinking we could put a couple of deckchairs and a parasol on top of the Smiley. And the rooftop of the Frowny could provide useful accomodation for overnight guests (if we install a tent). We'd need a ladder, though...
:-)
Sorry for being late to the party again, CI. These garages remind me of the Mr. Men series of books. Maybe there’s a whole line of them and the photo only captures Smiley and Frowny. (Mr. Bump was my fave)
Your plans to jazz up this real estate could make a huge profit. How about a swimming pool?
A right royal idea, JW!
I’ve already invested in a blow-up paddling pool that will transform the patio area in front of the Smiley. The pool will cover the unsightly “NO PAR” graffiti. This will leave the word “KING” on the helicopter landing area in front of the Grumpy.
A bijou property – and only 15 minutes flying time from Westminster!
:-)
... And how about one of those Unforgettable massage chairs next to the pool? We sampled one at a hot spa hotel in Japan (brother's wedding). It managed to tear a big hole in George's boxers Through a dressing gown - breathtaking experience!
A roof garden! You have to have a roof garden. A tropical one, perhaps, extending over both properties. Then instead of the guest tent you can have a little bamboo hut nestled among the plastic palm trees. Or even just hammmocks tastefully slung about.
And then...you get a booze licence and turn the whole thing into a Tiki bar on weekends! Just the thing to entice a certain Prince of the Realm who can fly his own helicopter in of a Friday evening.
Now, what shall you call it?
Hold on a moment, CI. The lane at the side of Mr. Smiley, it looks about 22 yards in length. We could set cricket nets up and practise our batting and bowling. Anyone for a googly?
Brilliant JW! This will compensate for the lack of nets at the non-existent windows. And I shall now go google googly.
Expat - I did a Wiki on Tiki and I think we could name the bar "Con Tiki".
Dolores - I'd overlooked the absence of an electric supply. You'll have to be our masseuse.
:-)
Well CI, that's an invitation I certainly can't refuse!
