It's a beautiful morning again in EK, with the promise of good weather all week end, we just hope that Wednesday is fine for moving out.
We talked to the house buyer last night and all seems set for a grand climax! sometime before the end of the month (this month one presumes that he meant).
We will just have to sit in Spain awaiting our furniture and watching our bank account intently (all this whilst also basking in 'the pool' or down in the sea at Mojacar, trying to stay cool just as best as we jolly well can, I’m tired already at the thought ;-)))ooo.
It's great to have Debs and the lads coming over to see us on the 1st August as it gives us a focus other than moving and informing the hundreds of people that go with moving abroad after twenty years in the same spot. It will be great to show them our ruin and plot.
The most farcical department I have so far had to deal with, whilst changing address and stopping payments, is the TV Licensing Office in Bristol. You are advised on the license to ring a number for change of address. After six minutes waiting and getting the usual run about pressing this button and that you are informed by yet another robot that someone will ring you back "within the next three days". Sod that I’ve written them a letter, it’s cheaper.
Surprisingly most organizations are quite easy to deal with and we’ve had many offers to ‘carry our bags’ and comments like ‘you lucky things’ which has made the whole process quite painless although it has been a long slog.
We are going down to Leeds today to have a final run with our ‘bus passes’ and to pick up more shorts and tea shirts which obviously are quite expensive in Spain. In fact anything to do with the sun and outdoor living is quite expensive so we are stocking up.
