We are still aiming to get away early March
but so far haven’t heard back from the solicitor setting up our legal stuff, we
have a appointment with him on Thursday so we may know more then, hopefully it
won’t be much longer. Trouble is I keep finding jobs to do in preparation and
my “need to buy” list is getting longer and more expensive and Nancy’s shopping
surprises are increasing, I’m not sure where we will put all of the “That will
be handy items”.
Our unusually dry summer has turned into a
normally wet (if not late) one. Since the wild storm during Australia Day
weekend, we have had considerable rain, At least it has washed all the salt
spray off buildings and trees around here and the grass has all turned nice and
green again without having to use the hose and sprinkler. In my last posting I
mentioned how the foliage on all the gum trees in the park and surrounding
district had turned brown due to wind burn, but the official explanation is
salt spray. If that’s the case it just shows how strong the wind was to pick up
sea water and lift it high enough to damage the trees high on the hill tops
behind where we live, let’s face it we are talking about a shallow bay in front
of our place not open ocean where big swells can build up.
I’ll keep you posted
Nigel
