End of 1st week in Melb

I pruned a few tress and shrubs yesterday and left the branches on nature strips. By this morning, they were gone! Tony, my neighbour next door, loaded the branches onto a trailer during the evening, destined for local mulching centre on Sunday. This morning, we went on more gardening work, pruning the vines above the BBQ and then more shrubs outside. Tony helped me mowed the nature strips, and we cleaning the pathways together. Garden is now completely done.

Had yumcha with Kylie, her mother, Julian, akong and amah at HongXing Superstar in Wantirna. We will stay Friday night at kylie's. Her mother is very cheerful and willing to accomodate.
Straight into more packing after lunch, with Kylie sorting kids stuff and Julian cleaning the windows and internal edges. Inside of the house is now completely cleaned except final vacuming and carpet steam clean. Kylie decided some 80% of Kristine and Kimberley's stuff can go to garbage. Upon rechecking, I kept 50% of what she wanted to throw away. Emily, Michelle, Debra and Jason came by in the evening to pick some books and some pot plants.

3 more boxes to go and the kids stuff and kids room will be done. Then just my camping and fishing gear to go. They should not take long. Kids stuff takes the longest. I hope to finish all packing by Tuesday, when 1st container will be loaded. 2nd container to be loaded Thursday late afternoon.

Going to Carole Wilson's for dinner on Thursday. My big hope is a fishing trip with Bob on Wednesday.
