Greetings one & all…..
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick…yep, that’s my life clock counting down…..three more days at work, 4 days until the movers come and pile my life into a truck and 15 days before I leap into the tube of death for my journey to Miladonitzi….and I must confess, I’m sh*tting bricks…..!!
Today, I’m sorting through the mountain of crap I seem to have accumulated …can’t believe I arrived here with just a suitcase 6.5 years ago…..
My furniture arrives three days after me and at least there’s a partially habitable house for me to move into (camp in) when I get there…..as you can see from the pics, I have mostly a bathroom,
(though I understand that it’s progressed beyond this pic) wooden floors in my living space and I even have a boiler….way hey !!
Hot running water, a flushing dunny and electricity is really all I need to get started….and those things I have (I hope)
I even have a phone line to the house…..though not connected up as yet…..once I get connected, hopefully I’ll also be able to connect to the internet…if not, it’ll be back to writing letters, like the old days …which means you’ll probably never hear from me again…never was much good at writing letters
The agent has been organising everything for me …for their trouble I’ll bring them exotic and mysterious treats from the west…..
Bulgaria has just voted a Socialist government back into power…which could be interesting….still, I was named after one of Australias most famous communists, so perhaps it’s appropriate that I’m heading into a socialist country…
The excitement, tinged with a healthy dose of fear, is building to bursting point…..but I must confess, there’s a certain sadness in my soul about leaving Scotland….I’ve had a truly wonderful time here, but it’s time to turn the page and start the next chapter in my very fortunate life…..lets hope its a good one
More later
