Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventeen
Thursday 8th August
Got up early again and went to garage to collect the Holden after its work. $2009 later we have a new water pump, all new brake discs and pads and new battery. Last of the big investments in that car we think.
Drove to the office and was at work before 8 again.
Took Ben to Cash and Carry and Bunnings to but more event equipment, then back to Kennards to drop it all off.
The afternoon was spent doing more final prep. At 6.30 we did the second of our volunteer training sessions and then I drove home at 8pm. Had some dinner and spent some time trying to catch this blog up.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixteen
Wednesday 7th August
Up at 6.15 and away to work before 7am. Got into office at before 7.30 and threw myself into final prep work again.
In the evening we held the first of our volunteer briefing sessions, reminded me of when I did this in 2010. I spent time doing break out training with our markers and sweep teams. Finally left office at 8.30 and then got home just before 9pm.
Crashed at about 10pm.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen
Tuesday 6th August
First thing this morning, Kate and I drove to the garage to drop the Holden off for the work it needs after its rego check last week. Thankfully the garage rustled up a loan car so I had wheels until we pick up car on Thursday.
I drove to Lane Cove to wait for the shutter man to come and do second measure up for the shutters going on the bedroom windows.
Once he was done I headed back to Willoughby to spend the day doing scheduling for the event.
Kate came home at 5ish and we spent some time in the evening doing more packing in advance of moving out properly.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirteen
Sunday 4th August
We got up early again and made our way to Kennards to meet the removalists to take our gear to Lane Cove. They arrived just after 8am and got into moving the gear. Getting out of Kennards took less than an hour and then we all made our way to Lane Cove. Another couple of hours and all of our stuff was in our new place. 30+ boxes to attack in the coming days and weeks.
We did a few bits and pieces around Lane Cove and then went back to Willoughby.
In the evening we drove to the airport to pick up Bill and Carol who had been in Adelaide.
Later in the evening we Skyped the UK.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Twelve
Saturday 3rd August
The alarm went off at 5.20am! The reason, our furniture at Freedom was delivered at 6am. To the credit of the delivery company they were there on time. The sofa went in first with no problem, followed by our TV cabinet. Finally they tried ot get our TV unit up the stairs, it was too heavy and they gave up trying.
It will be redelivered in the next week or so with more people.
We went back to Willoughby for a short while before going back to Lane Cove to meet Window Shutter man who came to measure up for plantation shutters in both the bedrooms.
The afternoon was spent shopping. We stayed at Willoughby again this evening as Bill and Carol are in Adelaide so we are pet sitting.
