FIRST COUNTDOWN BEGINS

 

Once the purchase is UNCONDITIONAL, we start the last countdown, which will be:  

Moving OUT, and MOVING IN DAY.  Won't that be fun!  lol

ABOVE:  18 months ago we bought this Peach/Apricot hybrid fruit tree.  It's first season it produced NOTHING.  Kinda to be expected of a very young tree.  

ABOVE:  This season?  Not a huge amount of fruit, but some.   I'm happy we get to taste them before we move.

This morning I am picking Lacy up, then going over to Bex's.  From there we are going off together so I can show them around the OUTSIDE of our new home.

Neither has been there before, so it's going to be fun showing them around.

At this point in time, I will not be sharing any photos, not until it is ours legally.  At the end of May.

When we get back home again, I will come home and do some sewing.  No major jobs today.

12.31 pm:   Well you will be happy with me.  I've done bugger all today!

Bex, Lily, Coco, Marley and I went out to look around the new home.

Lacy couldn't make it after all.

We enjoyed ourselves, and even had a couple of lovely chats with ladies who will eventually become my neighbours.

It seems to be a very friendly village I must say.

I am so looking forward to moving there.

PETA:  We have an area out the back that can easily be contained for the dogs.   We just need to put up a gate.

ABOVE:  Vietnamese Spring Roll ingredients...

ABOVE:  Lunch is made.   And it was delicious.

I shall be making some for Stew's dinner later on.  They are best eaten very fresh.

ABOVE:  Well our coffee table runner is done.  I agonised over what to bind it with... black, multi coloured strip or pinkish.  In the end I stayed safe with black.  It looks great.

I shall make some coasters tomorrow.  edit:  no I won't, I'll be at market!

I'm holding off making chair arm covers for now.

JUST.  IN.  CASE.  I decide to do something else in the lounge in the 'new to us' house.

Today has been very cruisy for me, no rushing around getting some job done.  

When Stew gets home we have to pack the car for market tomorrow.

It is going to be our very first time at the Morrinsville Market. 

ABOVE:  It's in Canada Street, which is off the main shopping street.  Easy to find.   I am hoping it goes well, because we would like to find one more market to do on a regular monthly basis.

7.27 pm:  Stew arrived home and we immediately loaded the car for tomorrow.

Then we had something to eat, and have now settled down for the evening.

We won't be up late considering we have to get up goddam early tomorrow.

And with that said, I'm outta here.

Catch ya tomorrow.
