EARLY MORNING WALK

 

Stew and I are going for an early morning walk.

HIS IDEA. 

I loathe getting up early.

Lately I've been awake most days at 5.30, if not earlier, so grrrrrrr, I might as well get a walk in.

I hope I feel better for it, once we get home.

At least it won't be too hot at this hour of the day.

Later on today, at a more decent hour, we are taking a big trailer load of rubbish to the dump.

Lots of foliage, and stuff from the back sheds that we don't need or want.  Mostly bits of timber we thought we 'might need one day'.

Not gunna need it.  Out it goes.

And that's about all I have for now... catch ya later.

ABOVE:  Hamilton is a ghost town!  No traffic on a normally very busy main road, at that time of the day.

ABOVE: Heading down to the river.

ABOVE:  A very tranquil Waikato River.

ABOVE:  Another lovely summer sky.  Our river is very low at the moment.

ABOVE: Today's walk stats.  Not too long as it was getting darn hot towards the end of our walk.  

And now we just have to wait until the dump opens, so we can empty our trailer.  Then we can use it to move more stuff!

11.07 am:  And boom, probably the last load of stuff for storage went over this morning.  We won't have anything else going in there now, until after this home goes Unconditional.

Then I will pack up the remainder of the ornaments, paintings, and what-have-you we won't be using for the last couple of weeks in our home.

It is starting to feel very real!

Will I miss this home?  Certainly.  But we will be perfectly happy in our new one too.

I can titivate to my hearts content and make it ours.  

And you will get to watch it all happen, all over again.

It will be our 8th home since we bought our first, way back in 1986.  Such a lot of water under the bridge since then.  

Stew's having a shave/shower, then we are heading out for a nice lunch somewhere. It will be good to just sit and relax, have someone else cook us a lovely lunch and be together, just being STILL.

Though my left foot won't stop twitching.... nerves about tomorrow I suppose.  Being so busy has been a godsend, I've not had any time to think/worry about it.

ABOVE: Lunch, Calamari and Prawns, and Loaded Fries.  Bloody delicious.  And such a nice environment, relaxed and quiet.  (Fergus Bar and Kitchen, Borman Road, Rototuna)

And now... time to put the feet up and relax for the afternoon.  We'll probably have a swim a bit later on, cos well... it's a warm day. 🌞

We didn't end up in the pool at all today!

We were just too tired, so lazed away the afternoon watching the telly.

I have to admit my stomach is churning thinking about tomorrow.  I feel sick.  I've got a stress headache.

There probably won't be too much sleeping going on tonight.

I just want this to be over.  I keep having nightmares about what could go wrong.

Every possible scenario.

So, it's now 8.47 pm, and I'm contemplating just going to bed, and trying to sleep for a while.

Catch ya tomorrow.
