[Magdalen] trying to sell my house

Nightmare central up here.  The house is turned inside out and upside 
down with the painter plastering and painting and moving about in a 
handyman way, but with still much to do.  We extended the process by a 
week, but I'm not confident.  This Friday is 'Coming soon' sign and next 
Friday 'For Sale'.  Jim is coming tomorrow to help for a couple of days, 
especially with moving some big furniture into the pod to satisfy the 
agent (!) but is unavailable next week.

People keep viewing the pod, now holding lots of book cases and lots of 
stuff from the garage as a very temporary storage, whereas I know it 
will vanish for many months or who knows how long.  So where do I keep 
the boxes I need to keep close at hand?  And what of the mountain of 
boxes and pictures that Jim has taken to a locked shed at his place?

I took 11 x 1.3cu ft boxes down to the Trinity Book Sale, being mainly 
much of my theology, not all, but much.  Dangerously close to tears as 
they offloaded them -- complaining all the way that they weren't in 1 cu 
ft boxes.  The main fellow did remember to thank me almost as an 
afterthought.

Anyway, good luck to us all!

Marion, a pilgrim
