We are homeless

Yesterday at 11am we handed over the keys to our house. The real estate people told us we would have access to our money that evening, or today, but things haven't quite worked out that way. We had assumed the $$$ would be transferred electronically to our nominated bank account, so we were more than a little surprised (to put it mildly) to find we had to drive across to the other side of the city, late in the afternoon, to pick up a bank cheque from the conveyancer's office. By that time, the banks had closed. (of course)
We drove the 70km (approx) back to my brother's place, (where we stayed the previous night) to stay another night. This morning we drove all the way back to our (previous) local area to bank our cheque, for which we now have to wait 3 working days to clear before we can pay for our motorhome. Sigh. So, another night at my brother & sister-in-law's house. (thank you John & Glenda)

Maybe we can leave for Melbourne tomorrow morning, taking our time, and then have a couple of days at the RV dealership learning about our new "home" before we are allowed to drive it away. That is now supposed to be next Wednesday, fingers crossed.

Things haven't been working to plan, but that's life. We are just playing it by ear, and hoping everything will work out for the best.

I am posting this from the Semaphore Library. Not sure when or where the next post will be from.
Thanks for reading. :-))
