About the house move situation (see August 18th)… the house wasn’t in very good shape, really, and a lot of things have needed to be done. We still need to get a door fitted to the back of the garage—we bought the door, now we need someone to put it on! Dad did all that stuff, and to be honest, my limit is painting walls. The old door was/is falling to bits, literally. Otherwise, I think the place is just about presentable, although I have some tidying to do on my tip of a bedroom.
Anyway, maybe it’ll be on the market after Christmas! Moving will be a good thing, even if it’s only somewhere else in the immediate area. A clean break for me and for mom. She says this house has too many bad memories now, and I agree.
