Update of “The Tale of the Sale of our Home” – [22/8/2007 – see: http://www.sheddinglight.info/articles_the_tale_of_the_sale_of_our_home.htm] After renting a three bedroom house for three months in Broke, we moved from there to Scone on 20th September. However, the morning the removalist truck arrived at our gate in Broke, Angela was not there, but at the eye hospital in Sydney. She had left Broke three days previously, on Monday, in order to catch the 10:50 a.m. train from Singleton to Sydney. Angela had an appointment with her eye doctor the following day at the Sydney Eye Hospital, 18th Tuesday. Lo and behold, instead of an ordinary checkup as she expected, she was advised that she needed a further operation to her right eye the following day, Wednesday - for the second time in four months. Angela had been operated on the first time, to the same eye, on 8th June, by another doctor at a private clinic in the Surfers Paradise, in Queensland the very day we exchanged contracts on the Lismore house. “What more is there in store for us?” we kept asking ourselves. Now for the second time we were moving house – the first time, 24th June in Lismore - Angela was having her second operation to her right eye; first because of a detached retina, and now, because there was fluid leaking into the eye. Anyhow, Zenith, our second son, arrived in Broke on Tuesday 18th in the evening to give me a hand to finish packing and cleaning the rented house in Broke. Thank God for that! Otherwise, I don’t really know how I would have managed without him. After the removalist truck had downloaded our furniture and left the premises in Scone, three things happened to me, and this not without significance. First I damaged the water meter, while driving the car in the front yard of the house; Second I knocked down the brick mailbox, while reversing the car from the lawn back to the driveway; Third I left the oven on, with my pumpkin-seeds in it, half an hour too long and I burned them as result. All this happened, the same day of our arrival in Scone. However, not everything went badly. In the evening, we received a phone call from Angela who was still in Sydney, saying that she was coming back home, finally, by train, the following day. It seems that Angela’s operation went fairly well after all. And she was able to join us in Scone on Friday evening 22nd September, and thus see for herself that everything was under control, in the end. All's Well That Ends Well Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam. ====== To read the previous article, please, click here: “The Tale of the Sale of our Home.”
