126 - Another Extension

Blimey, the sale of the CP has more extensions than a telephone exchange. Every couple of days we wait for the phone call from the owner of the property, only to be greeted by, "they have asked for another extension." However today 11/11/11 Remembrance Day, 5pm. at the latest, should see the sale become un conditional. Once that is resolved we will have a definite settlement date.

As I have said a million times, at the latest we will be out of here 22nd December, if the sale falls over, however we tend to feel that an early December departure is on the cards. Waiting............waiting...................waiting.

Here is an up date of the Retro Liner.

Painted the ceiling over the last weekend, and it came up a treat, like a new one. However the bride was so impressed with the paint job, guess what, I am now painting all the crappy paneling in the whole van. Geeeeeeeeezus....I hate painting, however I am half way through the job, and doing all the easy stuff first. I should be able to tackle the "hard bits" over the next week or so. The trouble is with painting something, it's pretty permanent, so if you don't get it right the first time, it's all over Red Rover!!!!!

At first I didn't think much of an off white colour, however I am warming to it now, and now when one visualises that with all the crapp out, the curtains back up, new donna, the recliner chairs and table in place, should look pretty schmicky......I hope.

Well that's about it troops, stay tooooooned.

ooooh! and it must be getting suspenseful around your place at the moment. We are painting painting painting (white) the stepsons house. The co-pilot has advised the nursing home her last shift will be 27/11 and she still needs to put it in writing. We leave on 28/11 and will be on the sunny coast a few days later. Might be able to catch up. (the co-pilot applied for a 5 week job at the Dirranbandi hospital commencing 19/12 but was too late. That would have been and adventure!
