Re:


The pics I have are not terribly flattering. It's a big empty house with the debris left behind, by the people who lived there. The light fittings are horrible, there's a mess in the kitchen that needs fixing. None of it can be done before the ownership has been transferred into our names.

I'll post pics on Facebook when we've moved. Also because we're going to be storing some stuff left by my kids' grandparents and that my kids don't have place for, but want because it belonged to the family. I'm not sure what, but I'm hoping there'll be some nice pieces for me to give a happy home to.

Some pics of the house. I'll post more when we've settled in. I heard yesterday that I'm getting the dining room furniture that was given to me as a wedding present in 1971. My kids don't want "ugly 1970s furniture". So I'm putting it in the house, hopefully in the future a grandchild will say "look at this lovely 20th century style, so interesting!"

I've made the album public for now. Once the move is done, I'll change it back to private.

Good. I'll share more when we move. I've blocked it now.

So here we are settled into the new house. We have internet, and I'm arranging for someone to come to connect us to our satellite TV. I did manage to get the movie-watching setup done in the bedroom this morning, so I'm pleased about that. However, with Netflix and our satellite video on demand service, we have more than enough for all of us to watch. So happy tv viewing for us from now on.

I'm pleased that the move seemed to be a rather smooth transition on the whole.

Re:


It was. It's just a nuisance not having a car available and having to rely on lifts and ubers, and unreliable online shopping to get stuff. Jeff should be getting his car back before the weekend then we'll be ok.

With the bathroom having been repaired this week, I finally feel like I'm living in my own house.

I heard today that some more of the family heirlooms are coming to us soon, including another bookcase, which I'm rather pleased about.

Image

I'm storing my pics on dropbox, so you'll have to click on the icon to see the image.

That's one of the tree outside our front door. The flowers will drop soon, then it will just be shade over the door and the living room window. So cool in the summer.

This is one of the clivia I found in the flowerbed. It's a pretty flower. I've planted a couple more, not sure what their colour is.

Click here.

I'll post some of the inside of the house later.
