It’s three in the morning

… And we can’t sleep. So we’re up, having coffee and playing on our computers. We have another busy day today but might need a nap at some point.
Someone is coming this morning to pick up most of the sundry pipe, steel, timber from our sheds. Then we need to take a few pieces of furniture and other items to the thrift shop, then another load to the storage unit and finally, hopefully, a load to the tip.
Yesterday we had a grader and water tank here repairing the road into our place. It was very rough but now looks great. It should help give a good first impression.
The estate agent comes tomorrow to list our property so hopefully it will be sort of sp*ck and span by then. Vince is taking photos of each room as we get it organised. We posted a number of items on a local Buy and Sell FB site and all bar two sleeping bags sold very quickly so that was gratifying.
As soon as the estate agent leaves, we’re taking the caravan and heading to a music festival for four days. When we return, we’ll list some more items and hope for a similar result.
The photo is of the road in. It doesn’t look too bad but looks much better now. I’ll take photos for another time.

That is a beautiful photo of the road leading into your house. If didn't live so far away, I would gladly buy your house from you, with an open invitation for you and Vince to come back and visit anytime you wanted to!

@JudyEv I totally understand that. I would probably feel the same way if I were in your shoes.

My goodness - things are moving along so quickly! Do take a nap if you have the chance. It's good you'll be able to take a break from all that and go enjoy a music festival trip for a few days. Oh how we would love to have such a road with trees all around that leads to the house . . . I must show Hubby this photo later 
!

It looks nice. Your driveway in looks alittle like mine, but I have gravel, and the dirty doesn't have a red tint. Actually, I should say I used to have gravel. The driveway is pretty bare now actually. I wish I could afford to get it blacktopped.

Looks like your sleep pattern is quite disturbed.
I just hope that you get a good valuation of your property.
Have a nice Wednesday!

You have a beautiful home. I'm sure it will sell quickly.

@JudyEv You're welcome...
Yes, I saw that @moffittjc suggested he'd love to make an offer on your home, but I wouldn't take that too seriously, if I were you. You surely know how flighty he is by now. I think he'd just string you along without meaning to buy your home.

@DaddyEvil I don't have to worry now as we've accepted an offer from a West Australian so it's nice to keep the transaction in the country. lol

there are sometimes nights like that, when sleep is far away. Hopefully nap time will be peaceful today!

@JudyEv Do both of your sons support your decision ? It seems that you can not host the couch surfing and give concerts again.

@changjiangzhibin89 Yes, our sons are happy for us. We won't be having any more concerts and we actually stopped having couch-surfers a while ago too. Age has caught up with us a little.

@RebeccasFarm The festival was very affected by some weather patterns to the north and we ended up coming home a day early. But it was still good to have the break.

Thought you were moving closer to one of your sons' place. Have you paid for a place in the retirment village yet? A family friend told me that she couldn't sell it above the set price which she had bought it years ago. She was very upset with that strict rule.

My sister moved onto her son's place but our sons are in Melbourne (4 hours flight) and Ireland (24 hours flight). The land and our new home will be totally ours and we will be able to sell it to whoever we want at whatever price we want so we are happy with that.

@JudyEv wow, that is good then (re: your new place). Is it closer to the city (guess you are still in the same state)? An acquaintance told us years ago, that the moment he retired, he moved lock stock and barrel closer to the city so that he could go to any restaurant & hospital easily.
