Waiting for the mechanics...

We had it all planned...

Wednesday and Thursday for cleaning the house and packing; Last party on Thursday night, right after Angela's last day at work; Friday for finishing up packing, and sorting out last details; Saturday morning drive to Fonty with 2 cars (ours and Angela's parents' Volvo stationcar);

The goal was one week of relaxing before the start of Business Foundations. Unfortunately Murphy reared its ugly head on Friday: Our car's climate control unit broke and no repair was possible before Monday (=today.)

With everything arranged and planned, we had to push through and go ahead with the move anyway. My motorbike was allready enroute to France. With us in the car as additional unplanned cargo we could not pack everything. Still more than half of our stuff could be moved with us on the Saturday trip (thanks to Volvo's habbit of making seriously big cars!) While Angela stayed in Fonty, I drove back home with her parents on Sunday to pick up our own car.

At this moment it's 16:00h and the garage-man (not my regular one, climate controls are not his cup of tea) has got me on tenterhooks all day. It's supposed to be an easy fix once you have the parts, and he got the parts on Saturday afternoon... but still no word from him. With nothing that I can do to influence the process, I decided to do something usefull instead of just hanging around.

So here I am in an empty house blogging, loading a few more CDs in iTunes, and waiting for the mechanics...
