Busy

Sorry but my posts will be a bit hit and miss, Adelaide and accountants on Tuesday, Wednesday looking at rentals today some of the Melbourne family arrive, in between cleaning, packing and making beds I have a doctors appointment today. So if I don't post it is because I have run out of puff.

Around the garden

Horse floats are very useful things, more went in after I had taken this photo. Another wander around the garden, thank goodness we had some rain over night and the wind has stopped. I think both John and I are wearing ourselves out packing and moving stuff. Just need to get through it all.

This and that

Another dreadful day cooler, odd short showers and blowing a gale again. George is in by the fire. I did have a quick look around the garden. The wisteria is out and the Quince tree is in full flower, how I will miss that, thecymbidium orchid and the mock orange are doing well despite the awful conditions. I have packed up I don't know how much stuff today and we delivered a load to the container. Having to rest as my back is not liking all this bending, but every day I get more done.

This morning at the market and a walk

A warm calm morning and now it is blowing a gale. Horrid and drying things out so quickly. On the beach the clouds were impressive and the boat seemed to float on a glassy sea. Boxes are being packed and moved. All so tiring.

In between packing I am making.

I get such a back ache while wrapping china and packing I have to sit down every so often and do something else, this little madam has been the something else. I love her Jill Maas. Found this odd knitting wool, well it's not wool but was fun to knit up into a little hat, and hid a bald spot on the back of her head. Shopping this morning and it is suddenly quite hot. Back to the packing and wrapping.

Along the coast

Yesterday we walked along the cliffs (last photos) and this morning we went looking at rental properties and saw these (all S09th African introduced) flowers along the coast near Middleton where we had gone to look at a rental property. At this stage we are just looking at what is available and what they look like from the outside. On Wednesday I go to actually look inside a couple, I hope. Trouble is what you see on the outside doesnt always translate to good on the inside. John is cleaning out the garage, I am still going through cupboards. I will need more boxes.At least at the moment although the sun isnot out, its been a funny murky sort of day, its not raining. Off to pack another box.

Not a good morning.

Well we did go for a short walk but we had also gone to a friend who does rentals for one of the land agents. I will see it next week, in the photos it looks OK but then John and I looked at it from the outside and I'm not sure. Ot many let you have pets, this has almost no garden, which could be a good thing. I do have lots of pots. Very close to neighbour's, feeling closed in. Others no pets allowed, too much garden. Not enough cupboard space. Feeling depressed and unsure. A new little doll who needs dressing and hair. My lovely Madagascar geranium is starting to flower. The house is full of boxes that are full and empty spaces. Unsettling.
