After listening to Jon sniff and cough all night I was glad to get up this morning. Just as well it was such a lovely day or I might have been in a bad mood!! Not even sure what day it is with having a bank holiday!
Dreamt a lot about houses and moving last night. I will be glad when this is all sorted and we have moved.
I found a few potential houses last night but had to go and get Tot from kennels early so had to wait to call them. Tot was very happy to see me and very happy to get home.
I called the agent of the house I like best and set up a viewing for tomorrow. Sounds like it might be a good deal as the house is an investment and so it is for long term let. It is in a nice area but across the other side of town. There is a lovely park there and it is right on the coast but of the inner harbour. I know a couple of ladies from Lions who live there and it is not too far for Jon to get into work. So fingers crossed. Most importantly, they will allow a dog.
I went to my keep fit class and stayed for a coffee. One of the ladies had a big box of books for me to take to Lions.
On my way home I looked at another house between here and where my class is but I think it is in an area that is too busy with lots of traffic.
Got home and hung another load of washing out, four in total.
Two of my nails are damaged and I only had them painted on Thursday so I called the salon and I went at 12.00 to have them repainted. Fortunately, it was a different girl and she took more time. Whitney, the girl that did them the first time took a lot of time over them but the girl on Thursday seemed in a hurry which is probably why one peeled off and the other two chipped. My fall on the glacier didn't help either. Anyway, they charged me $10 to re do them so I am happy with that.
Rushed in to the supermarket to get a few things and then got home just in time for Heather's lunch, Jon has an all day meeting.
After lunch I had a bit of a rest as I seem to have been on the go since last week without stopping and my head is all over the place.
I took Tot out and fed her and then got ready for my Lions dinner meeting. I thought the builder might be coming but I was not sure and as I have no number for him and he left without saying anything on Thursday I can't let him know I will be out. Tough luck for him!!
I picked Janice up and we went across to the restaurant. We had another Lions club join us for dinner so a big group. Dinner was as good as ever and we had a lovely Pavlova for pudding with lemon buns and raspberry sauce.
The speaker was a man, born in Burnley and arrived here with his parents and brothers many years ago, his father was an alcoholic and beat them before eventually leaving home. He grew up and got into drugs and had a pretty terrible life. He finally turned it all around and is now married and has five children and gives talks to schools and communities about mainly drug addiction but also to troubled youngsters. I have never heard anyone speak with more passion, he was really good. He also works on an ambulance crew and told us some very sad stories about young people being killed by drink/drug driving and suicide which is a big problem here. All in all a very good meeting.
I did my Tail Twisting bit with the Tail Twister from the other club and it all went well.
When I got home Jon told me he had a reply from the agent telling us that they knew nothing about the emails Seleena had sent to us and now say they want to meet with us and the principal of the company to help us and to sort it all out and move forward. I think Seleena has really shot herself in the foot with the email she sent to us telling us we had to stay till January. I think she was covering herself and did not expect to get an offer so soon and so she wanted to make sure of the rent. Now of course she is worried about losing the sale. It serves her right for being so difficult as all of this could have been avoided. Not sure when we will get to see the agents though as Jon is busy at work with meetings. Hopefully if we like this house tomorrow we can get it all done and dusted and everyone will be happy.
