Just one week to go till I'm on annual leave... I'm going over to Canada for a mate's wedding in Vancouver. Another mate of mine is going over as well, so we'll hook up when I get there and do some touring during the weeks leading up to the wedding. We'll spend 3 weeks looking around BC prior to the wedding.:thumbsup: I hope to get some great photos! ( I also hope to drop in to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory or at least the "Centre of the Universe" while I'm there;)).
In the meantime Lyn and I have been working our... well we've been working hard to get my house on the market, so we can buy a little property out of town. Something that will have enough space for the girl's horses, and enough dark skies for my scope!:D To be honest it doesn't have to be very dark to be way better than where I am now!
Today was a big day for us. Up at 5:30, move all the furniture out of the house, rip up all the carpet and underlay... relax for a while while the new carpet was laid, and then rebuild the house! We finished about 6:30, and a glass of wine didn't take long to hit the spot when we finished, I can tell you!
So the house is on the market, a buyer is coming to inspect in the morning, and I've only got 4 days next week to finish a heap of work (at work too! - who would've thought!!!:P) before I go. Lyn is pumping the place and the real estate agents full of positive vibes...;) she plans to have the place sold this weekend, and to have moved before I get back, so what can I say... go girl!;):lol::whistle:
So needless to say, I haven't been getting the scope out much lately, but most of my time has been put into getting the house ready to sell, so I can move somewhere darker!:thumbsup::D
Fingers crossed we'll sell soon!:thumbsup: Oh, wouldn't it be nice to come back from Canada to a new house and not have to do any moving myself!!!!:whistle:...I wish!!!:lol:
