COCO GETTING GROOMED

It looks like we are in for another hot day today... hopefully we can jump in the pool later on today.

Did I tell you the pool pump shat itself on Christmas Eve?

Steve fixed it, but it shat itself again.

It needs a new seal.  We are going out today, to the local pool shop to see if they have a seal to fit.

Otherwise, we have already ordered one through Para Rubber, but it won't be here till mid January.

The pool will be WELL GREEN by then! 

I hope that doesn't happen, and we can get a seal today.

Cross ya fingers.

We are trying a new groomer today.  It's a lady who's moved here from Tauranga, and has a Mobile Grooming Unit.

She is slightly cheaper than where we usually go, and a good deal cheaper than Animates.

It will be interesting to see what sort of job she does.

It's neat that she comes to our home to do the groom too.

We are also going to Animates to see if they have more meal worms for Baby.  He's been eating kitten food and cooked chicken for the past couple of days, but I want him to have some worms as well if possible. 

I think we will also take a few more things over to our storage unit later on today.  It's so much fun getting it all out of the house, it's like a HUGE declutter!  And we all know how much I have been enjoying decluttering right?  😊😉

ABOVE: We have a couple of these lightweight towels that we bought a few years ago.  They just sit in the boot of Stew's car, 'just in case' we need them one day while out and about.

Pffffft.  Never have.  So, I'm going to turn them into a 'towelie'. 

Might even do that in the next few days.

Right, I better get a move on.... shit to do, places to go, boxes to pack, bla bla bla.

In case you missed it yesterday, we got an offer on a home accepted last night.  So all the hard, nervous stuff is done... selling here, buying there.  

ABOVE: Gosh, isn't that a gorgeous picture?  I just love it.

From 7 am till 9 am this is what I did:

ABOVE:  I packed up 2/3rds of the sewing room.  I will only keep out what I know I will want to use over the next 5 weeks, then it will get packed up too.

Finally sitting down for a while.  The pool shop doesn't open until 10. edit:  got that wrong, it's open now so Stew's gone down to try and get a seal.    

Groomer is due here at 10.30.

So just killing some time right now.

ABOVE: Feeding Baby, who's looking a bit bedraggled.  He's starting to get some colour to his feathers, it won't be long before he starts looking like a real Wax Eye.

ABOVE: Coco before her groom.   Marley was groomed last week btw.

ABOVE: The new groomers, who are lovely people.

ABOVE: All done.  And it's an EXCELLENT GROOM, we will be using them again for sure.

And now, the groomers van has broken down in our driveway!  

ONE.  HOUR.  LATER... and their son came and jump started them, and off they went.

We then did a load over to the storage unit.  A 'load' being Stew's car full to the roof, and mine.

And now we are done for the day.  Knackered does not adequately describe how tired I am right now.

Oh!  Stew managed to get a new seal for the pool pump, so that's been fixed.  Fingers crossed it is all good now.

ABOVE: Marley was like... pfffft Mum, ya didn't take a photo of me!

ABOVE:  So there ya go... looking just as gorgeous as her sister.

7.50 pm:  I've done some more packing, but not much.  We have at least two weeks to do most of the pre-move sorting/packing etc.  I am sure that will be plenty of time. 😊

I think we will be taking it easy tomorrow as we have done so much these past two days.

I have a hospital appointment on Tuesday morning to have my worrisome tooth removed, and Stew doesn't want me getting there exhausted.  Fair enough.

Now though, the day is done, I'm not moving from my chair unless I'm hungry or need a piddle!  

Catch ya tomorrow.
