22nd August 2019
I spent the day cleaning the house and sorting some of the things outside in preparation for our Airbnb dummy run.
This, of course has been organised by Louise who is using her friend to act as a booking. This means that I am homeless for the weekend, but Nicola stepped in to offer me a bed, bless her yet again.
Had everything had gone to plan I would have been flying back to the US, but the ESTA issue threw a large spanner in the works.
I had to organise the small bedroom to be the storeroom, so all the junk had to be neatly folded and stacked.
Outside I had to move the composter, that has not sold, to a different place, I guess the next stop will be the recycling centre next week.
I stopped off at Ryan and Louise’s house to see progress on their new bathroom. I had flashbacks to my own experience, fortunately in the distant past, so I know the disruption it causes. It was a great improvement over their original layout, and the remnants of the cast iron Bath was still in the front garden awaiting disposal.
My grandson Marlo had his exam results this morning, and he did really well. He is a clever, geeky kid, who is going to study gaming design and development, so he will really be at home in a small dark room with no windows.
