Welcome to 2025 - the retirement year :) it hardly seems possible, but here we are, and I am ready for it. We managed to get a couple of good beach days in after Christmas, both swimming and doing some sewing. The cat assisted me.
But that will be the last of the relaxing for a few weeks ... I have to go back to work and it will be full steam ahead getting the Canberra house ready for sale and doing things to the Braidwood house before we move in.
We hauled up a couple of camping mattresses and chairs and some plastic plates to spend New Year's Eve at the new house - start 2025 as we mean to go on. We had takeaway pizza for dinner and a bottle of the good champagne before sleeping in the front room, and getting used to all the noises and creaks of an unfamiliar house.
So many parrots! And insects, and a tiny skink. We will get it emphatically sprayed before we move in. We put paint samples on the walls (antique white? whisper white? natural white? polar white?), pulled up the tacking strips, despaired at the (lack of) kitchen cupboards, resisted the urge to get stuck into the garden beds and failed to kill any rabbits by running over them in the car. Poison is apparently a lot more effective.
I shall have to look up what a skink is. Sounds like a busy time!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Lyl, it's going to be a great one :-)
