Last week was a big one. On 27 November my number 1 son, Michael was married to Chrissie, in Brisbane. Mum came over from NZ for the wedding, brother Steve and his family attended, and Lelia and I flew to Brisbane on friday, and came back on Monday. It was a good party, and Mike and Chrissie look well together. They flew out to Vietnam for 11 days on Monday evening. For the rest of the week in Melbourne, we were pestered by the real estate agents, to make the house available for viewings. This was a nuisance, but it paid off on Saturday when we received an offer for the house that we have accepted. So, sold the house, and we will move on to the boat on or before 3 February, the settlement date. We have a hell of a lot to do. Luckily, we downsized a lot when we moved from Albert Road to this house, in May last year. But we still have to get rid of a housefull of furniture. We will store the books and music - just about everything else we will sell. The boat is on the hard at the moment, for a repaint and installation of a watertank. Pissing with rain today, so not much progress - glassed the corners of the water tank.
