Busy day

I have one last box to unpack, hall is full of broken down boxes ready to go into the garage to await collection. So we are getting there. The sitting/dining room is fairly straight, the kitchen sorted, utility area OK. The 3rd bedroom now has the boxes of Christmas Dec's in the cupboard along with some of the bedding for the bed. Our bedroom is tidy. The sewing room resembles a tip, hope to get to grips with that over the next couple of days. Curtain rails due by Tuesday, so curtains will be going up.

It has been a lot cooler today, although when I went through the conservatory it was still warm enough to sit in. Last night the temperature was a lot lower, we were glad of the quilt on the bed over the sheet

I did a small load of laundry overnight, it dried on the airer in the conservatory, I found a couple of boxes lurking there, will move them tomorrow. So we can start to settle down and enjoy the space.

Supper tonight was roast pork and salad. I had a melon I had been ripening, we had some of that for dessert. A buttered tea cake also found it's way onto a plate whilst we were watching cricket on TV.

DB's carer was late, she had a busy day, but we were her last call, so she stopped for a chat. She was the carer who came to me 18 months ago. She doubles in the office, so do not see so much of her now. It was nice to catch up.

Much cooler

 Overcast this morning and much cooler. Slow start, doors and windows open to let in some fresh air.

Cleaner came and did her usual good job. The battery on the vaccum ran out before she finished the sitting room carpet, so I will do it once it's charged up again.

I have started running the cold water before the hot comes into a bucket and using it to water the plants. The boiler is quite away from the kitchen, so it takes a while to run through hot. Now the plants are in the shade  they are doing  well. Once the boxes have been un packed I will move them round to where I want them.

Sun came out this afternoon not too hot. No rain although it may be cloudy tomorrow.

Supper tonight was crustless quiche, and salad, chocolate mousse, a glass of shandy went down very well. It was chilled down in the fridge.

Another hot day

But 9c less than yesterday, there is a breeze, but it's a warm breeze. 

I have started on the sewing room, cannot believe the number of boxes still to open.

Gradually getting used to the place, keeping fit going from the back to the front door.

Sleeping was not easy last night, although the sun had moved round, it was still rather stuffy. I had the fan on to cool me down.

Going to indulge in fish and chips from the chippy for supper tonight, too hot and tired to tackle them here.

. 

Phew its hot

36c here this afternoon, fans have been going since early morning.

I had an appointment for blood test, Dr's were running late. T was with DB whilst I was out.

This afternoon I have emptied 5 more boxes to clear the bedroom, have not found our pacemaker monitors yet, they must be in the boxes in the sewing room, will start in there tomorrow.....?.

I am shattered, sleep not too bad, managed to get the internet connected this morning, so have checked the bank, still surviving.......at last the lady who is moving into our apartment has paid me for the dish washer........

Supper tonight is ham and salad........it's too hot for anything else.

We are here

 We arrived just before lunch. I came down during the morning to let the delivery chaps in. Wardrobe soon made up, discovered it was slightly bigger than the measurements on the web site, however switched round the dressing table for the linen press, all ok. 

DD2 was soon into her stride, kitchen was her area of work, boxes unpacked and contents soon distributed aroumd the various cupboards. I sorted out the two shower rooms. Boxes unpacked and shoved into the conservtory along with the wrapping paper. The new wardrobe was soon bursting at the seams. I did not realise we had so much 'stuff'.

French doors open into the conservatory and outside door opened.......

After supper we made up the two beds and were soon in them

I had a funny night but managed to sleep 8 hours, but then I had only had 3+ hours the night before.

After breakfast DD2 sat in the conservatory and collapsed all the boxes and folded up the packing paper, its all in the garage now, awaiting collection. After lunch Dgd arrived with the two little ones. E had a great time exploring. He opened the back door and walked back in through the conservatory. S lay on the carpet smiling and talking away to himself. He is a very vocal baby. Has a petchant for chewing great grandmas finger, my goodness he has  strong chew!

After they left I remade the bed with just a top sheet and a quilt, last night we slept umder the duvet. My goodness it was warm.

Internet is not working as it should, this is being sent from my mobile phone.

So DB's carer has just been, he is ready for bed and we will soon be turning in. Chap is coming tomorrow to sort the TV ariel. So there will be TV to watch. Its also my afternoon off, so I will be hitting the shops for various bits we need.

Quiet day??

DB seems to be suffering from stress, he was awake for ages in the night, so of course I had to be awake too. His Meniers is playing up.

I did not get up early this morning decided to have a lie in so switched the alarm off. Packed stuff from the bathroom, cleaned out the dishwasher and sorted out some other bits.

Tomorrow is the day........... DD2 is coming at 9am, I will have to nip off with some stuff to let the chaps in with the wardrobe, they will ring when they are half an hour away, then they have to assemble it, cost me extra, but it's so much worth it.

Salmon and salad for supper before hopefully our coffee ladies arrive for coffee and a chat, then we retire up to the guest suite for the night.

I was shattered last night, not much sleep, hope tonight is better........I think some of DB's problems just now are due to stress. We will see once we are settled in.

May be off line for a couple of days, fingers crossed I manage to sort it out. Satellite will be sorted out on Wednesday.

Cheers for now.

I am shattered

We collected the keys for the bungalow this morning. The whole place had been cleaned and smelt quite fresh. I had taken frozen stuff for the freezer, filled 2 drawers. DB sat in one of the conservatory chairs whilst I had a look round. Lots of cupboard space in the kitchen and utility room. I discovered that bedrooms 3 & 2 had been listed wrong 3 was 2 and 2 was 3, so my sewing room is now at the front of the house rather than the back. One thing I did find peculiar, there were no toilet paper holders, so will have to look for an alternative. This has got to be a long term stay, no way can I do without a toilet paper holder!! There is no TV ariel, we are getting a dish up on Wednesday, I also need to have a butchers at the connection for the Internet. I think it needs to be plugged into the telephone line.

DB went to play scrabble this afternoon so another trip to the bungalow for me. The freezer is full in the kitchen, just the fridge stuff to move on Monday. I had a look in the garden, some nice stuff, but it will look better when I have had a go at it. I also found a place for the whirly, plenty of room for it to twisle round in the breeze.

We are having a ding dinner tonight, DB, Lasagna,  me sweet and sour chicken. It was one of the scrabble ladies birthday, so we came away with 2 cup cakes.......yum yum, they will do for dessert.

A good sleep last night, hope tonight is the same, perhaps one trip to the bungalow to take a few more bits including the whisky and brandy decanters. By the time this move is over I will need a very big drink of some sort and it won't be tea!!!
