Canberra - 14 days and counting

It has been a very cold day, with temperatures hovering around the 10 degree mark and accompanied by a constant pattering of rain. Nothing like Yamba, where it has been sunny and around 20 degrees. AAAAAGH!!

Our last garage sale is being held this weekend and today was pretty good, with a constant flow of people between 7:45 AM and 4:00 PM, when we closed shop for the day.
Tomorrow might be a waste of time as there's not much left but you never know; one man's trash is another's treasure.

The house is becoming more empty as we continue to pack. There is more space in each room and in some there are echoes because soft furnishings have gone.
A few shots.......

Firstly, the dining room now features just the table and chairs whereas for almost thirty years there was a wall-to-wall shelving unit across that back wall and on the left, under the A/C unit, was a framed picture.

The lounge-room now stores (temporarily) a three-drawer filing cabinet from the study and the top half of one section of a Parker shelving/cupboard unit.

Prior to the sale there were two 2-seat leather lounges and a coffee table in here plus a large rug and a TV unit.

The living room looks particularly attractive with its expensive cardboard-box coffee tables.
Beyond, in the alcove where a round table and four chairs once sat, another fine suite of cardboard boxes allows for gracious casual dining!
The two lounge suites have been bought by the new owners and will provide us with about the only bit of comfort right up to D-Day.

Finally, my study.
Once the location of a full-width desk, the fine shelving unit (seen disassembled), a comfortable office chair and with the walls resplendent in framed posters and paintings, it now looks like the hastily-assembled quarters of a war correspondent in the Middle East.

As it was in 2004.....

Fourteen days to go.
