22.03 Day 187 . . . Deposit Paid

Another lazy morning with Tre sleeping in - where is all this sleep coming from. I’d woken several times in the night and hadn’t really slept very well and was then awake early - the complete opposite to Tre.
After breakfast Tre called the bank to check that if we made a substantial payment from her account it wouldn’t be blocked. Not as easy as it sounds, but were told to try it and if it got blocked to call them back - not the answer you really wanted !! We finally grabbed the laptop and logged into our international banking account we now have. Five minutes later the payment was made . . . fingers crossed. So that’s it deposit made on the house - big day, now no turning back, not that we have any wish to!!
Just as we were giving ourselves a little bit of cheery congratulations on our situation the phone rang and Tre had a call to say her mums brother had died!
How to pop a balloon quickly.
After a sad call for Tre with her Aunt we decided to get on. We’d had some stuff dropped by Hannah during breakfast, the postie had been with Amazon goodies.
New ink for printer and a cut throat razor and blades for me . . . Will attempt it tomorrow, so I don’t go for coffee looking like I’ve been kidnapped and tortured by a crazed knife man.
Showered and ready at 2pm we headed out to Chef Boutonne for coffee with Gilly and Paul. We spent over an hour chatting at a table outside Voyageurs, the weather just holding off from raining.
After coffee Tre and I went in search of birthday and condolence cards, birthday cards in France are difficult enough but condolence!! Anyhow we succeeded and it wasn’t long before we were homeward bound.
Once home Tre stuck last nights creation in the oven to cook and it didn’t seem long before we were sitting having dinner.
A few episodes of Fauda on Netflix and another day was done.
An important day for us - our new life here . . . Fingers crossed we get over the line at the end of April.Read more
