Overly optimistic
In my last post on this blog, which was written almost two months ago, I stated that while I hadn’t posted anything for about a month, I was ‘getting back into it’1. That was overly optimistic.

On the road
Having sold our house, getting rid of stuff before the removalists arrived, and moving out, we are now ‘of no fixed address’. To take advantage of the situation, we have been on a road trip in northern New South Wales for a couple of weeks and a couple of thousand kilometres (with another week to go), visiting friends, relatives and colleagues, and have had only intermittent access to the internet.
Beds not burning
As readers will know, we are downsizing and have three beds to get rid of before we move. While you can sell a bed frame/base fairly easily, it is difficult to sell a mattress, and charities like The Smith Family, The Salvation Army or St Vincent De Paul will not take them. So, the only options seemed to be to take it to a place called Soft Landing in an industrial suburb where they are recycled. Fees apply1, and I have heard from another source that this will cost you about $50.
