So our belongings to be shipped are all packed. I realised last night my hair dryer and steam iron are both in there! So I am managing with a tiny travel iron and the air!
Another morning of clearing and cleaning. The unfortunate thing is when we get back to the UK, we will be buying somewhere and moving out of the rather expensive rented place we’re living in. Another move. This time Demelza will benefit from our next sort out. I can’t even think of that yet. One step at a time.
I am a great believer in Karma and someone who has crossed my path today will be dealt with, I am sure of that.
We were told the shippers may come tomorrow……erm no, we were told today. Then it maybe next week. No, we leave on Saturday! I think they got the message in the end and so we waited in for them.
The last time they said between 4.30 – 5.30 and that was when they arrived.
The minute our nosy Russian neighbour saw the van, he came running up to ask us what we were doing. I spoke to him previously and didn’t tell him we had sold. In fact he is the reason David and Kenny keep their gate locked. He told Mal that he was going to buy our house this Christmas…he has told us that for the last three years!
The shippers were two really nice guys but they couldn’t get the van up the drive, so I lent them the hire car and they ferried it up and down in that as a lot of it was very heavy. Mal gave them a tip and they were really pleased.
It was a real sense of relief when our boxes had gone.
Margaretha got in touch with us and said she wanted to take us out for a farewell dinner and came and collected us. We had no idea where we were going, a magical mystery tour! Not far at all, just straight down from our house, one of the hotels we can see from our terrace, Merit Royal. What a lovely surprise. We had intended going there but hadn’t got round to it.
The food there is so good and the wines so good too. The desserts are just crazy, so many (so full of calories!) Margaretha does make me laugh because she said “Now we do as the Turkish do”. Go and choose your dessert first as they only make two of each kind, then just leave it on the table until you have eaten the rest of your food!
We had such a lovely evening and everything is included in an eat all you can, I think Mal did! We were the last people to leave about midnight, after Mal had sampled a few of their whiskies! The food was excellent, the service was not, I hate to say it but the waiters were running around after the Turkish but thought the 3 of us were Brits so we had to keep asking for more wine and to clear our plates, not quite the 5 star service it used to be.
Thank you Margaretha after the stressful couple of weeks we have had, it was a perfect night out.
Thought for the Day – “Instead of ‘Have a nice day’, I think I’ll start saying ‘have the day you deserve’. You know, let Karma sort things out.”
