Still here

Still here , took the frustration out on the tables and cabinet in the breakfast room today, there made of wood with iron legs and will flat pack after undoing loads of little nuts but job done and all wrapped , followed by the coat stand , this turned in to a bit of a puzzle trying to get it back in the box it arrived in , they are clever those Chinese . Had to pay the balance on the fees for the rental today after a chat with the agent , saw a thread re agents the other day , must say ours has been very helpful so far let's hope he can be he same on the exit ! So here we are 9pm it's 16c and raining and I'm paying rent on a villa with a pool where it's currently 22c and clear as I'm writing this I have just had an email from our new best friends on team manaña , apologising for the hiccups and all should be well from now on ( let's hope so ) they've told their landlord they'll be out before the 27 July ! ( lets hope it's a LONG time before then) and do we think well be ready , READY , A SEY READY were more ready then a missile on def con 4 ! To be more ready wed have to be sat in street wi boxes . Well at least they have a dead line date something to focus them on . They want to come and measure up well that'll be easy as we've sold most of our stuff and packed the rest while we've been waiting for them , they'll have lots of space to wander in apart from the rear bedroom that's our dummy van as is just over 19m3 so all out worldly goods are going in there as a guide to a van load ! Shame they can't just winch it in in a oner !
Depending on the date our alternate route down has become the ferry to Caens as the times are favourable saving a hotel night in the Uk and giving a good run at the daylight for driving no point pushing too hard as we would arrive in the middle of the night with no keys .
The e mail from team manaña and the thought of an impending move has sent the lovely wife scurrying off up stairs to do something useful , and its not even dark yet ! Good job we've still got the curtains up :-)
