More moving stuff
Sleeping on the Aerobed wasn't bad, but wasn't a real bed either, so I'm still short enough on sleep my IQ had dropped :)
Went out to dinner at the Gillen Club last night - I had the Barramundi which is in a tomato hollandaise sauce (very good) and John had the steak sandwich he liked. Monday is kid's movie night, it was Mr Magoriums Magical Emporium, but as we couldn't hear the sound we didn't stay for the whole movie. Walked across the school's field over to the Westside FoodLand, where we saw they had steam cleaner fluid, but no cleaner. When asked, they told us it was broken and out for repairs. Phooey.
Packed boxes, went to bed at a fairly decent hour, for once.
Got up just before sunrise, after 7am. Usual morning stuff, Housing showed up right on the stroke of 8:30am - news started on the radio same time they pulled into the drive. We're used to this, they come in, make sure we haven't trashed the place or stolen any furniture, then tell us what we need to fix (nothing, just need to mow). After that, first lot of boxes out to the APO - seven boxes. Then off to get a steam cleaner. Went to Eastside Foodland first, but they don't have one any more, so went to Woolies because we saw they had some the other day. They did, but no fluid for the one we wanted to use, so we rented it then went back to the Westside Foodland for fluids.
Came home, had lunch, then of course, did the floors. They're still a bit wet. All the windows are open, and the doors, and the fans are running full tilt. Still have to let Meep out of her box though.
Nothing else going today. Probably go for a walk in a bit, it's really nice out, about 26c (80f? dunno).
