Another busy day...does it ever end?

• Gas and electricity  now connected at new flat
• Ironing done
• Farewell lunch at Brighton with Vicki
• Back to wash and clean car inside and out ready for packing with my gear- boy was it dirty!!
• An hour of my life lost filling insurance forms in for my "stuff" the removalist is taking
• Unpacking boxes - "stuff" wont be there for 2 - 3 weeks so I needed to retrieve essentials - toaster, kettle. frypan, iron etc etc. I will take these in the car. - need to find time to repack the other stuff again.

It's all getting just a little bit too hectic at the moment and the next four days are just as bad. Almost looking forward to hitting the road on Wednesday just for a rest lol

Good bye to Victor Harbor :(

Busy day. Drove an hour to Victor Harbor and sorted out some personal stuff. Got cheques off for bond on flat and first months rent YAY! YAY! Looking forward to having my own place - I've been living out of boxes and bags for 2 1/2 years now. Gonna be soooo gooood.

Picked Mum up from Goolwa  (85 years old) and took her out to a nice lunch at the Red Orchid in Victor Harbor.  All was going well till I took her home to her place and she burst into tears and said "This is the last time I'll ever see you". Well...that pushed me over the edge.   Very difficult but possibly true...although I will try to make sure that isn't the case. Realistically I will be over 2000 kms away so she may be right and it did hit home.

Had a blurry eyed drive home.

Queensland Bound - all going to plan

Since my last little trip to Brisbane the plan was hatched for me to relocate there. I must admit the warm climate and the chance to see more of Lee made it a no brainer .

Things are all falling into place - my things to do list went like this.....

• Have operation for triple hernia (result of the bug I caught  in New York) - done!
• Get a job - done!
• Get a flat - done!
• Organise removalists - done!

The removalists come next Wednesday 3 rd October and as soon as they load up I will start driving to Brisbane.  As I'm still technically recuperating from my surgery I'll allow 3 or 4 days to get to Brisbane - just over 2000 kms. 

I'm really excited about the move and the job and seeing my kid and being warm again - and before you ask - YES - I will have a guest room lol.

Watch this space.........................................................
