[Magdalen] My move

[Marion Thompson]

... continues.  On moving day, the truck that came was half as big as 
was needed!  So the saga continues.  After signing a   pile of papers at 
the lawyer's yesterday a.m., we assembled in W'vale to continue clearing 
the house and load our cars.  Wonderful Kevin showed up and carried on 
his good work.  My dear friend Michelle was remarkable and even washed 
inside all the kitchen cupboards and cleaned the fridge completely!

The fellow who had taken stuff previously came last night and cleared 
out the rest of the furniture, including the dining table and chairs and 
side board that Fiona had returned to me as no longer needed (!), and 
some other stuff that had emerged from the pod this time.

Back to W'vale today with a rented 15' to clear the box mountain in the 
garage and take gardening tools and such.   The same gang will 
reassemble.   Most of this load is now headed for a rented storage unit 
in Port Hope where I can pick it over and deal with it without a gun to 
my head.  The new owners get the keys this afternoon.

Five appliances were delivered on Wednesday.  At the end of the day for 
a variety of crazy reasons, only the fridge is up and running.

Only one very stressed collapse in tears yesterday ...  I'm saving the 
breakdown for later.
