Eureka

Have found a house sitter; a couple who specifically requested a sit in the Redlands, so all is looking good. Have been working on Tuesdays and Thursdays, teaching Level 1 ESL at Browns Plains. Unbelievably light work load after the 3/4 class I had for about 10 years and the moolah will come in handy. Madly Spring cleaning so when we ask for the house to be left in the same condition as it was in on our departure, we will not have to do so much in preparation for the arrival of Anniina and family just after we get back in June (don't feel guilty, Anniina). Two weekends to go before lift off. Meryl will return from the Galapagos and Peru just after we leave. Have booked the bus to the airport, got the tickets but still nervously watching the money market to hopefully time the purchase of Euros and Pounds; in our favour of course. Is there something I've forgotten??
