On the morning of Sunday 5th Jun we took off to Canberra to pick up Jacinta's stuff for moving to Cranbourne, Vic. Cint is Tan's sister and has landed herself a job in Paris and will be moving back in with her mum until she leaves for France in August. When we arrived she was busy packing so all we had to do was move the boxes from the flat on the second floor to the trailer. After sometime it had come to our attention that she had more than we planned for. We worked till around 5pm that night and decided we just had to eat. Cint had a place in mind to eat at, the Central Cafe Monaro Street, Queanbeyan NSW, Cint said "the meals at this place are that big we may have to share between two" I was starving so the girls shared thers' and I forced my down, the meals were hugh as she said well recommend by Cint.The next morning we were up and did some final packing and left Cint at home for the flat inspection. The trailer was absolutely full and weighed a ton! We left for cranbourne around 10am and arrived at about 7pm that evening. We sayed that night with Tan's mum (Anitta) and visited Tan's dad (Richard) in the morning, he is in the nursing home only a 10min walk which is very easy for Anitta to visit him. That morning we spent with him and headed down to Phillip Island to see my mum (Helen).
Mum has just sold the house in Cowes, it is getting to hard for her to maintain she has decided to move into a place called Penguin Resort a retirement village with all the good stuff for the old's to do. I first saw the resort about 2yrs ago, they are currently building stage 2 this will be the last stage making it approxiamtly 200 units. The resort has a large kitchen entertainment area an internet lounge it even has a swimming pool. Mum has taken some pictures with the units progress when being built earlier this year. I just need to get the completed pictures a post them later. The unit has 2 bedrooms and has an open living setup for the kitchen, lounge and dinning area.
The empty block before the works started.
Putting the windows in.
A look at the inside, the kitchen will be up the far end on the left.
The garage on the right and the roof is on also.
Aunty Doreen and friend came for a look also. The walls have been lined here.
Well it wouldn't be a trip to Mums without doing some work. She had a list of jobs for me to do. We went an bought mum a new stereo for the unit and she bought a new plasma TV which looks great. We had a great time with mum going out for dinner at the golf club and just catching up with the latest in Cowes. Tan and I also went to the chocalate factory and tried the samples.
Well after spending 4 days with Mum we headed back to Tan's Mum's and hooked the trailer backup and took it down to the storage area where Cint's stuff is to be stored. We had stuff in storage so we just swapped what was in the trailer around. It took a 1/4 of the time to unpack her stuff. We also dropped in an had lunch with Richard we think that he is pretty bored at the home but he is looking very well. They have different activities planned for each day so that keeps him busy. We went and visited Jo, Paul, Dilan, Regan, Mattie and James those guys are going well also. It was good to get away and visit the families and just generally catch up with the stories that have happened since we last visited. After returning home we unpacked the trailer and had the Queens birthday off to winddown. Mum and her friend Una will be visiting Sydney in July so we have to setup the spare room for those guys.
