Lazing about

Very full day:

- Show Mr B rental house we move into tomorrow (he likes it, phew);
- Off to house we're buying to collect van full of furniture;
- Re-inflate tyre on van;
- Use battery starter to try and start van;
- Go to garage to buy new battery;
- Go to lunch until garages re-open at 2pm;
- Buy battery, almost vomit (Mr B) when lifting enormously heavy battery due to large caviar-filled lunch;
- Go back to garage to swap battery for the right battery;
- Replace battery with no electrocutions;
- Rejoice when van starts first time;
- Sigh deeply when van fails to move forwards or backwards;
- Go to garage to ask for help;
- Go to garage owner's mate around the corner who has time to come and help;
- Garage owner's mate gets van brakes unfrozen;
- Make appointment for van to get new tyres and brakes;
- Finally get van underway (50km per hour) off to the rented house;

Home for a relaxing laze in the park and dinner. Movie to come. I could get used to this. But instead this is our last night and, with our own house in the area from tomorrow, there'll be no excuse for us to stay here all the time and be spoiled.

Moving in tomorrow. Expect more "eek what have we done" write ups tomorrow.
