Thursday.

And so the great getaway is about to begin, we have to put in force operation cat round up. First two cats, Molly and Scully are easy, so one is in the bathroom, the other is in the porch. We just have to wait for Mulder to arrive. And so the waiting begins.

We are packing, as we travel light, not a difficult task, and then deciding what else to take, i think we'll stop at the kitchen sink.

One piece of news I forgot yesterday, was that out of the blue, Jools' old employers, the LFB rang, offering a job for six months, on more money than she was on before. As this coincides with the other one finishing, she is going to take it, which makes our money situation much easier at least until the end of the year. It certainly is a strange thing, but if it suits both sides, then its a win/win situation.

Last night both Spain and Australia lost, thus both being the first teams to exit the world cup this year, and Spain being the first holders to go out at the group stage. They were poor, and lost 2-0 to Chile, who were rather pleased. I did watch the whole game, but struggled against heavy eyelids all evening, no doubt made worse by the two glasses of wine I supped at dinner.

Anyway, the waiting goes on, but soon we shall be heading northwards. See you next week.
