quick update and then to bed!

Not much to write about today. Had the vertical blinds installed in the kitchen. Now the only things outstanding are the roof needs to be finished and the new glass put into the bathroom.

Had lunch with colleagues from Shell. Was nice to catch up with them after my two months into retirement. But we spent 3 hours eating so I am still feeling full!

Seing it was Friday night decided to head to Doncaster and pick Dennis up from work so that he would get home quicker and enjoy his Friday evening. Seeing it will be a very busy weekend. Tomorrow we will spend at Mount Evelyn packing the rest of our stuff (mainly from the shed) and then on Monday the removal truck will cart it all to West Heidelberg. Not sure yet how we are going to store it all!!

Was very happy to hear Kathryn's news. I know how much of a drag it is to sell and buy houses....won't be doing it again in a hurry :-)

I now have 4 novels to sell on ebay. Nothing doing as yet. But Sarah told me to be patient that things probably won't move until the last few days. I am not sure if books is a good thing to start with. There were quite a few copies of the same books for sale! Anyway I had a chance to play around with the settings. Think I finally have the right. Also checked re postage at the post office. As long as I keep it under 500 gr the postage around Australia is 4.50 per book. Then it gets expensive.
And I made the overseas postage 20.00 to put people off!

With Peter's help I have managed to add links to my blog page and also a site meter which tells me how many visits to the site there are each day. Not sure if I need that info but....it is now available.

Harald sent me an email yesterday. He has translated Dad's eulogy into German. Made a few changes so should have it soon. He did a great job. Would not have been able to do it myself.

Mum has been getting quite a few cards from Germany so was a good idea that we put the announcement in the local paper in Neuss.

And now I am bushed so off to bed.
