NOT TOO MUCH TODAY

 

We will be back into the unpacking/sorting today.  Last night I went over to the storage unit and bought back one load.

I specifically wanted to bring back the sewing 'room' computer.  I always have it on when I'm sewing, so wanted it back fairly quickly.

I also got about 5 boxes, some smaller paintings and this:

ABOVE: Our beautiful Blue/Green glass jar.  That coffee table with the plants and jar will be set in front of the lounge window, once the credenza and TV are on the other wall.

The SKY man is coming this morning to put the Sky connections in the two other places we want them

I can't wait  for that.  The TV can then get OUT of our front window.

After lunch today we are attending our first 'Residents Meeting'.  Hopefully that is informative and interesting.

Once that is over we can finally do a proper, full grocery shop.  Restocking the fridge, freezer and pantry, which are rather empty.

So, that's me for now... catch ya later.

As I sit here sipping on a very hot Jarrah's Chocolate Mint drink, I find myself wondering... how long before I say 'I'M BORED'?  Something tells me with everything that needs unpacking, sorting, gifting away, selling, re-arranging and so on, IT.  WILL.  BE.  A.  LONG.  TIME.

And let's not forget all the new activities I can get involved in here!

There's SO MUCH I can now join in on.

And there's the pool and hot tub.  

And   and   and....   I'm a very happy girl.

ABOVE: LOOK at that!  I'm not a complete idiot.  I got the computer set up and GOING!  I had to take the stand off the screen, otherwise it didn't fit in that gap.  Yaaa.

NEXT...

ABOVE: The spare bedroom.  For now it has two lounge chairs in it... they will be replaced by a sofa bed around August.  It is taking about 5 months to get here!   This room also has all of Stew's clothes in the wardrobe, and his drawers.

ABOVE: On top of Stew's drawers is the TV he will be watching SPORT on.  We are waiting for the SKY Guy to arrive to set that up for him.  We are also getting Sky put on another wall in the lounge, so the configuration works better for us.

11.23 am:  The Sky guys are here installing the cables... all going well Stew can bugger off to the spare bedroom this evening to watch his sports.

One of our neighbours just called in to say 'Welcome'.  I'm sure there will be more.

ABOVE:  Finally, the main job for today is done.  The TV is in it's permanent position.

ABOVE: And the lounge is sorted until we get the new lounge suite.

NOW we are going out to get a few things, and do the grocery shopping.

We will not be attending the residents meeting as we have run over time.

5.17 pm:  Grocery shopping.  What can I say about that?  We got it all, then had to load and unload in the pouring rain.  It was not fun.

ABOVE: That was the BIGGEST shop I'd done in years!!!   And that's what happens when you run all your Frozen and Fresh food down to virtually nothing.  Thank goodness, I won't have to grocery shop again for quite a while.

8.07 pm:  We have actually done bugger all this evening.  Taking a well earned break.  I was even too tired to go for a soak in the hot tub!  Maybe tomorrow that will happen.

But for now, I'm off to be super early.

We have another busy day tomorrow.
