Sunday
A lazy morning, got woken up at 4am by neighbours upstairs rolling in drunk. Later in morning we drove into the city to pick up Kate's Tiffany Bracelet which has her charms soldered on it.
Lunch in Myer centre, back home, walk along the river and cooked ourselves meatballs, very nice. Had a three way Skype with Sydney and Adelaide which was nice.

Day Eight Hundred and Forty Eight
Saturday
Usual rigmarole of tidying up for apartment sale inspection this morning. We went out and staked the place out in the car to see if anyone showed up, one couple came through we think. We looked at a couple of rental places too in the morning.
In the afternoon we did some shopping and then in the evening we had a very nice night out to the Centro Cinema to go see The Hunter stating William Defoe and Sam Neill, was very good indeed.

Day Eight Hundred and Forty Four
Took the day off today to sort out car. Got call that it was ready at 11am and went down to collect it. $800 later and I headed to the RTA to get the new registration sorted out. $350 dollars later we have a car registered in Queensland, new CTP insurance and we are good to go.
The RTA always amazes me, the really old folk coming in with walking sticks and hardly able to see the ticket machine renewing their licenses. Crazy!
Came home and did a load of ironing, before picking Kate up form work and a quiet night in.

Day Eight Hundred and Forty One
Up and about and headed down to shops to get brekkie and papers. Came home and we did final prep before heading out while inspection happened in apartment. We did convey our displeasure to agent before we left at the way they used our personal items to decorate the apartment for sales pictures.
We loitered outside for a while but no one seemed to show up to view the place, result.
We looked at another place to rent at same time and that was crap.
In the evening we went for dinner at Claret
