The last few days have been mainly, with Phyllis's help, sorting through stuff ready to start packing.
Looking around me now it all looks a bit chaotic, although we have cleared out a massive amount of stuff. Phyllis helps two families particularly who will benefit from things I have turned out. As well as some other things I am donating my reclining chair to her, and she is very grateful for that.
I took a pile of office and stationery supplies to Kate at the Senior Centre, so things are finding good homes.
Although I am sorry to be saying goodbye to good friends I have made here, I am so happy to be coming home and living near Tim and family in Oxford, and Jeremy who is not too far away in Surrey.
Just realized - I hadn't published yesterday's blog, so here it is, it was entitled "I'm 77".
Now I am really pushing 80, and this is no longer a laughing matter.
Been engaged with frustrating banking issues - like not being able to access my Lloyds account. I hope they are dusting off the welcome mat at the Summertown branch. The only thing that can be said for banks here is that they have realistic opening hours - they don't shut at 3.30.
Just did a little shopping. Needed some milk which over here is all healthy, fat reduced 2%, and I don't do healthy eating. I am just so looking forward to the full fat, full cream, unhealthy Channel Island milk. That's going on the shopping list along with the Melton Mowbray pork pie, and Ambrosia creamed rice.
