28 days

Only 28 days to go now. Have finished painting, finally. Going to clean the 4th bedroom downstairs this weekend and close it until we leave. Irish swappers move into Majorca Isle at Maroochydore in 13 days. Organised the hire car pick up from Gibraltar or actually La Linea in Spain for January 1, 2010. Have obtained International Driving Permit from RACQ.

Tic Tock

Well we are down to 46 days until we fly to Europe. Our Brisbane home is almost ready for our Home Linkers to arrive from Dartmouth in Devon, England. We have spent several months building and then painting our perimeter fences, painting the lounge, dining, kitchen, garage and main bedroom. The kids bedrooms look a shadow of their former selves with multiple toys and games donated or sold and ill-fitting clothes donated. Have arranged for a pool cleaner to maintain our backyard pool and the outside house cleaner is booked for 23 November.
