August 2016 Blog entry 'Moving on'

My blog is becoming more like a diary these days, not that it matters it’s my blog so I can write what I want.....can’t I?
As my true followers will know by now, my wife decided a few months ago that it was time to ‘move on’ and who am I to stop her. It was decided that I would move out of the family home for the sake of convenience....mainly convenience for my daughter as her school is nearby and most of her friends live in the neighbourhood. I moved into an apartment that we bought about ten years ago to let out as an income and long term investment. Coincidently and conveniently, our tenants had also decided to ‘move on’ at the same time.
So here I am starting a new chapter in my life at nearly 66 years old, NOT ideal and NOT what I envisaged for my latter years. Our tenants did what a lot of tenants do, i.e. trashed the place! So it is going to take time, money and effort to get it back to its original state.
​

It WILL be a nice flat again, but I have to admit it does feel rather weird starting from scratch AGAIN! All that stuff you accumulate over a lifetime has to be bought all over again. You know, pots/pans, cutlery, crockery, sheets, pillows, the list is endless but you get my drift and I WILL get there. The whole place needs redecorating but it’s too hot at the moment.....it iiiiiis honest!
When it’s finished I will have a huge party with myself and my bottle of Chivas....
Well that’s it until September, I must try and get back on track with my writing as it has taken a back burner recently, I need to write that ‘best seller’ as paint costs a fortune over here.
Bye for now.
