SUNDAY - MORE PACKING

 

Right, today I'm going to finish emptying the kitchen cupboards.  I'm going to put up a trestle in the dining area, and put everything on it that we still need to use.

That way ALL the kitchen cupboards will be clean and empty.

Stew meantime, is going to mow the lawns and weed the gardens for the last time here, as long as it's not raining.  If it is, they will have to be done on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm not sure what else I will get up to today... there's only so much left I can do before say, Thursday.  Then it will get a bit crazy.

11.42 am.

The day has begun very well.

ABOVE: All the last minute kitchen stuff is right there.

I only have one cutlery drawer to empty, and that will happen on Thursday night. Every single other cupboard and drawer in the kitchen has been emptied and cleaned.

ABOVE:  I have made a BIG pot of Seafood Chowder this morning, and it should last us a couple of days at least.

ABOVE: Stew taste tested it, and declared it delicious.  Yaaa.

It's an easy recipe.

I do not add the celery (Ikkkk), and I double the amount of seafood, and add more stuff like squid rings, octopus, mussels etc.

ABOVE: This is IT.  His last time mowing these lawns.  

I have LOVED this home and garden.   We have put so much love and $$$$'s into it.  I really hope the new owners love it as much as I do.

I'm now taking a lunch break, and Stew will be able to very soon as well.  I bet he's having... seafood chowder for his lunch.  😂😋

Another LAST this afternoon.  I did the pool winter maintenance treatment.  Shock Chlorine and Algicide.  That should keep it healthy for the next month or two, until the new owners learn how to care for it.

I'm making Garlic Butter to have with some thick toast bread.  Dinner is sorted.

I have meals lined up for the next 2 days after today, then I'm DONE cooking here.  Exciting.

ABOVE:   There was a little bottle of Lindauer Pinot Gris in the fridge.  Every time I opened the door, it tried to fall out.  So we just drank it.  It wasn't that good, but it felt good to 'toast' the LASTS today.  

There will be a few more LASTS over the next few days... then we start FIRSTS at the new house.

And YES, we are down to plastic glasses!

Well, it was a good day, until it wasn't!

A bit of stress this evening... nothing that can't be fixed tomorrow... but I really didn't need it.

Grrrrr.... catch ya tomorrow.
