Only Three Full Days to Go

(Move out Wednesday, but we actually leave the house for the airport with the cats at 03-15hrs on Thursday morning).

It’s all getting just a little weird and unreal now.
We are packing things to carry with us on the plane and we have paid for the removal folks to walk in and pack all the stuff that we are putting on the slow boat to Spain. This is very strange because we have always done our own packing on moves in the past. We have drawers and cupboards full things that are as yet untouched. Part of the moving insurance says that if we pack items then we are not covered under the damage part of the insurance. So we will just have to stand in the middle of each room and let them get on with it. I have had comments from ‘you know who’ to the effect that ‘they’re not touching my knickers’ so some things are already packed.
We still seem to have mountains of things to do including keeping on top of the garden until we leave.
We have invited Graham and Zoe to come round tomorrow evening and have some driving lessons on the household utilities, like the water system, the electrics, the shower, the central heating system. At the same time we will invite the folks from both next doors to come to meet their new neighbours.
We hope that this will make their 'move in' a little less frantic.
