Yesterday we signed the contract for the new house. Today I can give you a shot or two of what will be our new view. A week on Monday we can collect the keys, take the inventory and start moving things across.
On the way back we stopped off for a few supplies at one of the village supermarkets (see photo) and it’s a question of ‘What shall we have for lunch today?’ As you’ll see, supplies have become a bit scarce. But not to fear! The Blue Star came through in the morning and, all being well and calm, should have come back last night. (I will be able to give more accurate details once we move as we’ll be able to see and hear it arrive and depart from the comfort of the living room.) So, Thursday morning will probably see a scrum at the vegetable department, so might give that a wide berth.
But it’s also good news for empty boxes, and we still need a heap more, with only about 60% of the house packed up. The more we pack the less we can use, obviously, so the house will probably stay mainly as it is until only a few days before we actually start moving things. Then it will be open season.
Meanwhile, the nights and mornings have ben wet, everything is feeling damp and it’s also cold; standard February weather here. I’ve not been able to get out for much ‘jalking’ at my preferred time of day, but have been trying to get out for your more standard kind of walking in the afternoon. Neil’s not been 100%, having had a bad tummy, but is on the mend now.
So, off into Thursday, with plenty to do and plenty to look forward to.
