Ten hours to go

---

All ready for takeoff, finally. We've cleaned the house thoroughly, ready for tenants who arrive 8 hours after we leave (apart from the room packed with all our gubbins). We've packed the van until it creaks, and had a very good last curry with the neighbours. I worked until 4am last night (went to bed as the birds woke up) and delivered or posted 6 last jobs this morning (and bought some deodorant). So there's nothing left to do except make sure everyone who wanted to is receiving the alerts to this blog. Goodbye and see you all in three months!*
