At last, at last.

 Yesterday afternoon I heard that contracts on the sale of my house and purchase of my flat had been exchanged with a completion date of Tuesday 14 March.  It sent me into a flurry of trying to decide what to do first.  I still have a lot to pack so I called the removal company to drop of some boxes.  They will be coming on Monday to pack my breakables.  Next I tried to contact some of the people on my long list of - people who need to know I'm moving.  Water company really quick and efficient.  Phone company helpful but its difficult to see what the hold up is.  Hopefully it will be sorted today.  Just looking I wonder how many times in the last few weeks I have typed the word hopefully?  

I am not going into the whys and wherefores of the troubles I've had since April 2022 when I started looking for somewhere to move to.  You don't need to know and I don't want to remember them now I am on my way.  I'm just looking forward to the next problem, will the furniture I'm taking with me fit into my new abode?  All I will say is - if it doesn't at least I will have an empty garage.  Make what you will of that.

To blog or not to blog that is the question

 I have been settling into my new home which is one of the reasons I have made no posting of late.  However that was just an excuse I made to myself.  The real reason is that nobody is reading this blog and although I started with great enthusiasm it is defiantly wearing thin.  I feel I must soon make a decision I must either give up or find a way to put this blog out into the blogosphere.  If only I knew how.  Trouble is when you start a blog at my age you are not surrounded by other bloggers or people that know about such things.  Maybe I have to read the blogs of other older people and find out from them what to do.  Seems like a plan just have to do it.

Life is for living

 Can't believe its ten days since I last posted.  Things have been happening and my brain is having trouble keeping up.  First in two days I go on holiday with my friend to Spain.  Now have everything laid out on the spare bed ready to be packed.  Least ways I think I have everything.  The other day I realised I had forgotten to get any euros then yesterday when I was charging my phone I remembered I needed an adapter which of course I had already pack in a removal box.  A scramble in all the boxes then ensued. I can't wait to get to Spain when I can do nothing but rest my brain and enjoy myself.   My house move is now teetering.  My sellers can't move out till at least 7 March and the first couple in the chain have to complete by 20 March.  So I will return to finish packing up my belongings and starting over in a new flat.  Is this really what an eighty year old should be doing?  Of course it is.  I have no desire t...

Summer planning

 Although I like blogging I think I would like it better if I had some readers.  Now I have finally moved, and although I am still sorting and trying to find places for everything, I think I must read the advice on how to do it.  This is one of the problems of being eighty with no grandchildren - nobody knowledgeable to ask.   But summer is coming and I have a small outside space which I intend will be fill with as many pot plants as I can manage.  I bought some with me but so far they have been left to their own devices but soon I will be out arranging and buying them more friends.  Least ways that's the plan.
