It's Sunday, we are awaiting friends to collect electrical items and other furniture we are not taking with us. It is indeed a strange feeling; sadness at leaving a house, a home, we have lived in for 17 years and a garden we have created and nurtured over that time. But on the other hand there is an urgency, a need to move and get there - to Calgary.
We have 15 working days left at our schools and 10 of those evenings are catered for with outings and farewell meals - how will we get through them? Our smiles are getting bigger by the day as we have new adventures to look forward to.
Bill has spent a great deal of time pulling my leg about sending clothing ahead with Parcelforce - what a dream of a service. All you ladies out there know clothing weighs, especially mens shoes. I have spent two evenings working out what 60 kgs is like - our limit on the flight. We booked with Thomas Cook and upgraded to premium hence the additional weight. It's the work clothes that are the issue - we need to look smart but we also need to be cool in this heatwave we are experiencing at present. What do people do with hangers? Do they take them with them or just throw them away? I'm thinking of taking a few.
We have had numerous visits to the tip - we are not only on first name terms but we get help with emptying the car! I wonder how many more trips there will be before the end of the week and completion.
