British people are not rational about houses

Your obsession with tiny lawns certainly isn't. A friend of mine called it "Living in the city while pretending to actually live in the countryside".

For no obvious reason, one of my cats just jumped and tore a big hole through the blinds right next to my computer desk.

Right next to my computer desk.

The reason seems obvious enough.

Spending four decades in the water probably ruined it. 

Actually, the frame is probably in pretty good shape, considering it was covered in mud at the bottom of a freshwater lake.
