tell mePosted on Wed 21 November 2007 at 08:29Tell me - can you remantle? or mantle? I was thinking about dismantling the beds for the move next week and it just popped into my head - if you dismantle, you must either mantle or remantle eh?
I have just been sat out on the deck, in my little oasis of serenity and the moon is so bright tonight. It is beautiful out there right now - the sky is clear and the stars are shining and it gives me such a good feeling to be able to enjoy it. Looking at the sky like that seems to bring things into perspective and give you (well, me anyway!) a sense of peace and satisfaction with the world.
My Melissa is all grown up tonight. She wanted to dye her hair, so we set to and did that. She went on a shopping spree today for her birthday: so she is sat with her laptop; hair beautifully coiffed; in a rather fetching new outfit and she looks lovely. She reminds me of me at that age and of my sister Shona. I wish her all the joy that a soon to be 12 year old can dream of. My beautiful daughter - enjoy life and all it has to give.
Well, I have signed all the paperwork for the rental and put it in the post. I have done the financial stuff and best of all, the removal company can have my furniture there before I even get there. Although I was looking forward to meeting up with Jac and Adie next Wednesday night, I would have to drive past my new house to get there. So it makes more sense for me and the girls ( Melissa and the 2 cats) to go home. That feels really strange to write - I have a new home that I haven't even seen yet yet but already it holds the promise of a new start, a new beginning, the renaissance of my life. Fantastic - I couldn't ask for more. Actually, if I could ask for one more thing, I would ask for this house in Hamilton to sell. But that will also fall into place at some point, so I'm just not going to worry about it until next February, when the mortgage holiday ends.
Mellow Karen here: laid back; making plans; looking forward to the move and to actually having some time off. If I hadn't secured this rental, my initial time down there would have consisted of frantic running about. But as it is, I can easily unpack the stuff in a couple of days - let's face it I have had plenty of practice of the last 17 years. So that leaves me quite a few days to do 'us' stuff - Melissa and I taking time out to look for a riding centre that treks along the beach. Melissa and I setting the satnav to find the nearest KFC. Melissa and I finding the perfect beach. Melissa and I exploring the nature reserve that is behind our new home. Melissa and I finding an internet connection as we are both internet junkies. Ahh, the promise that the future holds.
