Saturday was spent quietly catching up on a range of things and chatting away. We expect the dining room table and chairs to disappear today, they were sold yesterday on Gum Tree! Power of Attorney forms are sitting waiting to be signed on the table before it is collected.
We are learning more about KAUST, (King Abdullah University of Science & Technology) which is around 70k's north of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia where Kate Arj and family will be heading in less than two weeks. There is a website for newcomers so the can familiarize themselves with how the place works before they get there. You can access the site HERE.
The family went out to another farewell occasion last night so Trish and I headed to our most favored eating establishment in Springvale. The Vietnamese Rolls tasted as good as they look!My inexpensive phone doesn't have the best camera I am afraid.
Then we headed back to the warmth of the house and the footy on TV.
Today there will be more sorting of our friends visiting timetable to do. We have quite a few friends we want to catch up. Our immediate priority though is to be of whatever help we can be for the family here. We leave some clothes and things with Kate as well so we have to sort them out and find a spot to leave them.
However with Kate and Arj heading off and with us considering visiting them in April 2015 most likely we won't be back in Melbourne for well over 12 months at the earliest. And I can tell you the winter weather here doesn't encourage us either.
Today it is lunch with Arj's parents.
Tomorrow we have our own financial guy to catch up with. By then things should begin to settle and we can plan what we are doing a little more easily. At this stage all we can confirm is the furniture removalists will be clearing everything out of the house Thursday week.
