R-Day

The removalist truck rolled in at around 7:30 am this morning, just as everyone was waking. Then it was all hands to the wheel and slowly but surely the house was emptied of all furniture and pre-packed boxes.  The team consisted of three young guys who obviously have backs in much better condition than I do.

I am standing as I type this as all the chairs have been packed and are in the truck!

Wednesday afternoon was spent with me just looking busy or keeping out of the way.  I downloaded a couple of movies and did some web surfing. Trish was flat out with some cleaning.  Kate discovered she now has an extra shelf in the pantry.  It had been removed and was sitting on the pantry floor!

At 5pm we were on our way to Pat and Graeme's to catch up, have another lovely meal, enjoy a few drinks and a have great chat.  It was extremely pleasant.  We discussed the kids new lifestyle in Saudi Arabia and compared it to what their daughter had enjoyed in Dubai.

Arj has a blog on getting ready for their adventure.  You can read about it HERE. Hit on the "older" link at the foot of his post's page to view his previous blog postings

There will be even more cleaning this afternoon before we all head off to Arj's parents home where they will spend their last two nights.  We are required to cart some stuff they will be leaving at Arj's parents home.

From there we will make our way to Mordialloc and the home of Eddie and Patsy Riordan where we will spend the night, a great meal, a few drinks and a look at the footy.  There is one of very few Thursday night matches on tonight.
