Another Saturday

halmakeup Haziran 08, 2022

Thank you to everyone for brilliant comments yesterday. They made me feel much better.

This was the Camellia in the corner of the

patio in the first week of February 2020. It even had a flower opening. I wrote about it HERE

This was the Camellia this week 2021 - photo taken Thursday.

What a difference a year makes! The Camellia is moving with me and there is a sheltered patio behind the bungalow......when I eventually get there.

I heard quite quickly from my solicitor and Estate Agent last Tuesday after threatening to take the house off the market if the buyers solicitor kept asking the same questions and refusing to accept the answers. The buyers have been notified of the reason for the hold up. Meanwhile I've signed and posted off my side of the contract for buying so just waiting for things down the line to be sorted.

I've continued to pack things into boxes, and wipe down shelves in cupboards as I empty them. All the wall and base unit cupboards in the kitchen are now either empty or just have things on one shelf. Most of the furniture is now labelled with where it's going in the bungalow.

Sort-of good news from Suffolk libraries this week. After being completely shut in this latest lock down.............they've not even allowed reservations since December, they are going back to reserve and collect or request a miscellany to pick up from Monday. It's only sort-of good news because the mobile library won't be re-starting yet so my reserved books that have arrived are still stuck in a crate, although I'll be able to change those books that are still in a waiting list so I can pick up from a library building....if I have time for reading after moving!

An unexpected text message on Thursday told me to go online or ring up for my Covid vaccination. I didn't think they'd finished the 70+ age group yet. But then on the news they said 65+ were going to be asked from Monday. I went online but rather oddly everyday for the next 4 months seemed to be booked up so I tried the phone which just said sorry we are very busy ring back later. Wonder if the text message was sent too soon? I'll try again next week, not bothered, not going far so no rush.

This week I've been grateful for

Not needing anything while being "snowed in"
An idea and a book for blogging through Lent

There's still too much drifted snow in the gateway ( we even had another snowfall yesterday) for me to get out this weekend but Brother-in-law is popping over sometime to pick up a couple of old ladders and an old table which he is going to cut up for firewood, so his 4x4 should flatten the snow and then the temperatures are due to rise after Sunday so I'll be able to pop out for some fresh vegetables and fruit next week.

Have a good weekend

Back Monday
