Yes, I’ve been a little absent from here of late. There’s been one or two things that have needed taking care of around the house. Something to do with uprooting the family and heading off to the other side of the world.
Painting has been my main activity for the last couple of weeks. It seems that every spare moment sees a bit of painting crammed in to it. Though I can’t complain as our parents have been going above and beyond in their assisting efforts with getting the house ready so that we can rent it out.
An amazing effort really when you consider that had they not been the people they are, not helping us may have assisted in delaying departure and them having access to us for a longer time.
But the way we’re going I think the ‘renovation’ phase of the tidy up will be over by close of business this Sunday. Then of course, I head off to Sydney for a couple of days just to be completely useless whilst Caroline the wonder-wife continues in her relentless way. And there’s still the small matter of sorting out what has to go and what has to stay and where its all going. Minor things, I’m sure.
Friday before spit and swallow we have the real estate agent coming to take photos to rent, so we have to be ready even earlier than other-wise planned, and then a short time after S&S we’ll be abandoning the nest when the movers come and start packing stuff up to ship it elsewhere.
Good God, is this really all happening?!
As it is, departure is scheduled for 1 July. We haven’t actually heard if we have visas and stuff as yet, but we plough ahead regardless and plan on leaving on that date. One way or another we’ll be on the plane.
I’ll keep you posted.
