I was awake early this morning as my brain is working overtime and thinking of all the things we have to do regarding the move.
I took Tot out for her walk and then went over to collect books from two houses and ended up with a very full car.
I then went to have a look at fridges and freezers etc at the pawnshop. I had passed it the other day, never noticed it before, and saw they had white goods outside and as we need to buy everything thought I would check them out. Definitely a non starter they were all pretty horrible so I think it is all going to be new stuff.
I then went to the courier office to collect two parcels one was some cooking utensils I had bought online and the other was Jon's old passport. He needs a new one as he has run out of pages. Hopefully it will be here in five days and then he will need to send it away again to have the residents visa put in.
I had a quick coffee and then went to the supermarket before going home to get lunch for Heather and me, beans on toast.
After lunch I went out to Bethlehem and the book rooms. They are better rooms than we had but now it is all in a muddle and we have so much to do to get it sorted.
Once home I fed Tot and took her out again and then intended to do my ironing but as Margaret had called and left a message yesterday I thought I ought to call her and so spent half an hour on the phone.
Jon came in and told me that Seleena had sent an email to Ross (he is the son in law of the owner of the company and originally got this house for us) telling him that she has organised a van to collect the furniture on 2 December and is having the phone, Internet and electricity cut off on that day, too. So obviously she now is not going to communicate with us.
Jon was really angry and forwarded the email to the agent and told her to speak to Seleena and tell her to stop putting so much pressure on us. She can't turn us out (though we will probably be gone by then anyway) as we have the right to stay. Jon has said we will take legal action unless she sorts herself out. He will call the agent to arrange an appointment to go and see them. Meanwhile, we have not seen sight or sound of the builder so not sure when he is going to come in and finish the job. There is just no end to it all.
An old friend of ours is in NZ visiting his son in Wellington. Jon worked with this man in the Sudan and we haven't seen them for about 25 years. He hoped to get up here but he is now not going to make it as his plans are tight and he called tonight for a chat and it was as if 25 years had only been yesterday. He and his wife now live in France and so hopefully we will get over to see them but not sure when that will be but at least we are in contact again.
Had a nice stir fry for dinner. Heather came in and she won her last netball game.
