Glad to hear everything has gone well, Gert.  Now you just need to remember where you have put everything in your new home and throw out all the cardboard cartons.

I have a friend who uses the cardboard for mulch. Winner!

The new dryer arrived damaged but no worries the installer will go get me a new one. Winner!

Someone helped me put the stoppers under the new fridge. Winner!

All the new furniture arrived in boxes. Nearly hysterical.  The drivers took pity and assembled all for nix. I gave them $100. Winner!

Dryer installer will install articulated bracket for tiny TV in bedroom. All included. Winner!

I am on a roll. Can't believe how kind people have been . I am sooooooooooo lucky. Very grateful for everything.

Still I do need a hot bath with a cold glass of which I am gunna do before the cricket starts. Them a meat pie and peas for dinner in the AF. Well not the peas.

Car loaded for tomorrow' s trip. Winner!

Found a toad and gave it a wack. Tossed it over the fence to the dog shit neighbour. Winner!

I have just woken up from a small afternoon nap and am so cold but reading Gerts post and am rolling the floor laughing. I can almost hear you saying Winner; and with the attitude you have you will always be a winner and who cares about those people next door. All those delivery people thought you were worth helping and so do all the forum. Winner.

It's great that everything is coming together Gert and you sound so happy.A pity about your infantile neighbours.But soon that problem will be left behind and you can start a new chapter to your life.

Marina it is not hard to remember where I put everything as I can practically see everything from the front door!

Hi friends.
Another sunny start to the day here but the wind is making it feel cool.
Very quiet out there walking Chance this morning.Only the herd of cows and horses to see.The Barley is slowly ripening in the fields.
