Saturday and most of Sunday seemed to pass very quickly and all I can remember of it is packing, cleaning, packing, cleaning and then unpacking!!! I really don't know where all our stuff has come from over the last three years.
Jon left to go to the house as the Sky man was coming and I went over a bit later as the keys that I had made didn't fit and so I had to go back into Tauranga and get them redone which I did and he gave me a free one to go with them. When I got back they still don't work so we used some WD40 but still nothing. I think we will have to get a locksmith to look at the lock.
On my way back I bought some food for a bbq and once I was home Jon and Heather went out to actually buy a smaller bbq as ours is too big for this deck but will be fine for the garden.
I went downstairs to take Tot out for a wee and suddenly saw a cat running out of the snooker room and fortunately, the door into the garage was open and it went in there and I was able to press the electric door switch and it ran out but it must have come in through Heather's window first as I could smell 'cat' but don't know where it has sprayed.
We also have a problem with the cat from next door, Mr Bean! He is too friendly and when Tot runs as him he just rolls over on his back instead of running away. So far she has always been on the lead but it is going to make things difficult if I can't let her out. Jon bought me a spray bottle while he was out so hopefully!!!
The man delivered the kayak and lifted it up and carried it to the garage like a feather. Jon and Heather tried to lift it and it nearly killed them, I think we need some wheels now!!!
After putting the bbq together we enjoyed a late dinner!! We were so tired.
We had a really good sleep even Tot slept all night. She is very unsettled and follows me everywhere but I am sure she will be fine soon.
I cooked breakfast this morning and I should really have just gone straight over to Te Hono Street and started the cleaning as I had so much to do and had underestimated it. It took me ages to clean the garage and the side path where Tot used to do her toilet. Jon came over and took the rest of the things back and I finally manged to leave at 1.30.
We went over to see the ride on mower racing but only managed to see the last race but we did have a nice lunch there. It was a really hot day so it was just as well we were so late.
We stopped at a little place on the way back which sells real fruit ice cream and we had our with strawberries and she mixes it while you wait - yummy.
We are having problems plugging everything in as this house does not have many sockets. In fact, there are more in my larder than in the living room - I love my larder!! We will need to speak to an electrician as Heather is not happy having all her things plugged into a big adaptor even a safety one!!
I still haven't got my clothes sorted out and am running out of space.
We cooked a butterfly leg of lamb on the bbq for dinner and it was lovely.
I couldn't do my blog as where I sit on the computer is fine in daylight but at night I block the light out but I now have a little lamp. Another week and we will all feel more at home.
