Quarantine Day 4
So here we are at mid-week. Feeling more positive today – there’s still a mountain to climb in terms of de-clutter, but at least I have started to do it in my head. Or do I mean ‘do in my head’?
This morning the weather was nice enough to do my Greek revision class in the garden. Not just pleasant to be outdoors, but also gave Al the acoustic freedom to record some new parts for LIFE IN THE SUN. Went through some sale/removal related emails. Discovered that we had complicated matters when Al bought the house by putting in place an arrangement that meant he couldn’t sell it effectively without my consent. Removing this restraint turns out to be not the simple matter that you might think. If you have a similar arrangement, you might think about sorting it out before you sell. I can remember the time when people did their own conveyancing. Feverish trips to the photocopier, the post box, clutching a copy of the Which! Guide to DIY conveyancing. Does any of that sound familiar?
Al’s birthday on Friday so spent a long time scrabbling around the internet trying to find an organic rose wine that would arrive in time. (It’s OK, it’s not a secret!).
We are still under ‘house arrest’. Actually I don’t mind much. Since living in Marediana and going through 2 ‘lockdowns’ there, I think I have become used to being inside the house and its immediate environment. Although, I always looked a little longingly at the ferry leaving and made a wish that one day we will be on that ferry heading for new islands.
Of course our house here is very different from Marediana where we had 2 terraces, a swimming pool and a sea view. Here we have the views you have already seen (previous quarantine Blog), a small garden front and back. Actually it is a small joy to walk down the front path to the gate – a distance of less than 3 metres, check out the rocket growing wild in pots, pull out a few weedlings, look up and down the street and then go back inside.
We are having broadband Issues just now, so I will launch this Blog later today.
