Well... here it is. My last day to get everything ready for my trip over to Australia tomorrow!
*** ONE... MORE... SLEEP. ***
Then 14 sleeps in Quarantine 'till I get to see The OLD MOO again.
I'm pretty sure the only things I need to get done today is some washing, and make sure my last minute things like toiletries, phone charger etc are packed by the end of the day.
Shouldn't be too hard.
The other thing I need to do today is make a quick trip over to Cambridge to return the Card Night Trophy. A friend said she would come and get it, but hasn't. So well... I need to return it myself obviously.
Never mind, it's going to kill a couple of hours in a day that has the potential to drag.
I shouldn't have bothered. I read up on Air New Zealand's site, and if you go over, the extra weight charges are bugger all. I might be over by a kilo or two... might cost me $50. Whoop.
It will be the fabric of course! 😆😊
I'm feeling very confident that Stew and Brylee will be just fine while I'm away.
Stew is a very good cook, and he's going to spend some time teaching Brylee more cooking skills. *snort*
AND he knows how to keep the house clean and tidy ... well I am pretty sure he does! He's had 35 years of 'training' after all. 😆😅😂
So... time to get a move on, I'm off to Cambridge as soon as I've had me breakfast and the 'rush hour' traffic has eased a bit.
ONWARD...
10.45 am: and the run over to Cambridge went well... straight there and straight back. There's quite a bit of new housing going on in Cambridge, near to our old home.
As for our old home, it's still looking bare and unloved! NOTHING out the front to pretty it up at all. It's quite sad seeing it like that. It sure does not look like our lovely home anymore.
I am now literally twiddling my thumbs! I've nothing to do .... gunna cook some sausage rolls for lunch that we didn't cook yesterday.
Brylee and Bex can help eat them.
FUCK IT.
ABOVE: I warn EVERYONE that our oven is HOT. And then I went and burnt the damn sausage rolls didn't I?
I'm not having a good day. I'm as crabby as fuck.
And.... just to cheer me up... these bitches decided to spend the day with me.
ABOVE: It was nice to see them and say Bye Bye, see ya later.
Good Morning DCR 😊
ReplyDeleteHope you have a some what relaxed day today Ma, we are all going to miss you so much xx and yes Dad and Brylee will be just fine xx

You must be getting so nervous and excited! Don't worry about the flying part, just enjoy it. I'm looking forward to all of your updates once you get settled into quarantine. I'm also looking forward to when you finally get to hug your Mum!! Safe travels Chris :)
ReplyDeleteAww count down time
ReplyDeleteTime will fly now and you will be in Aussie before you know it
Hope to catchup once you are over the other side of the Tasman💐
Cheers 🥂
Does the thermostat in your oven need looking at? It's not normal for an over to be too hot. I realise it's the least of your worries right now but maybe something to look at another time.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, hope to chat while you are in quarantine.
ReplyDeleteWTH? I'd be swearing too if I had to buy bras! I gave them up for tight tanks and camis, after I got nerve damage from Shingles right on the bra line. Anything tight on my back right there will fill my Swear Jar pretty darn quick! How did this trip come so quickly? Time flies! Can't wait to read the Quarantine Blog!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the trip I bet THE OLD MOO and Ron are very much looking forward to seeing you 🥰 please pass on a hug for them both from me. George's Mum.
ReplyDeleteIf you are over just a little bit with your suitcase weight. Take out a heavy sweater, or something and wear it. You are allowed to have a bunch of weird stuff on the plane with you, like jackets, umbrellas, personal item (like a purse - but I always use a very lightweight backpack and stick my purse in that to give me room for souvenirs). So wear it thru check in, and then stash it in an overhead.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your travels Chris xx
ReplyDeleteYou are crabby because you are stressed & anxious about going away, especially for such a long time. It is nerve wracking but at least you get to spend some important time with your Mum and she is going to be so excited to see you. Stew, Brylee & the rest of the family will be fine and will survive, as will the house, the dogs, the garden and the pool.
ReplyDeleteBon voyage Chris. Hope everything goes smoothly, especially those 2 weeks in quarantine. I can imagine how much you want to see your mum. Wishing you all the very best and loads of patience, though I know you've taken plenty to pass the time
ReplyDeleteSafe travels tomorrow Chris. Will be sending you positive vibes for your flight. Mum must be so excited to know you be on Aussie soil tomorrow and then just two weeks until you can be together. Take Care xx
ReplyDeleteSafe travels - take care. Try not to worry about the NZ family - I’m sure they’ll surprise you. xx
ReplyDeleteBloody hell that's a lovely photo of me, I look like Jabba the Hutts' slightly skinner ginger cousin haha. We will miss you while you are gone, but thankfully we have video chats so we can stay in touch. Have a good flight, and we'll see you when you get back :)
ReplyDeleteTravel safe n enjoy the being waited on hand and foot on your ✈️ flight,,
ReplyDeleteLovely so many of the family have been last few days

Safe travels Chris. Here's hoping the two weeks in quarantine flies by for you with your various boredom busters, and you are soon able to give your dear Mum big hugs. Will look forward to hear about how you find the care you receive during the quaranting experience. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and take care.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, Chris. Will be wonderful for you to see your Mum and spend as much time as you want with her once Q-time is over. Erin
