Moving Kim and sporting highlights
Its Tuesday 20th of September and Isabel and I are driving a huge 22ft van to King City to close up the house. We were suppoed to get a 16ft one but it didn't come back from a prior rental.
22ft is long and you sit up so high. But we managed. We even backed it into the little driveway. The roof of the van stood level with the roof. It took us 2.5 hours, starting from scratch, to more or less clear out the house - not bad. We then dropped off the stuff Kim wanted at her Orilla flat (with the help of her house mates, indeed sje didn't arrive until it was almost all done!) We got home at 8.15 and Jamie and his cousin helped us unload. Altogether a successful trip.
Meanwhile Julia's basketball team is turning into a comedy centered around an ego-obsessed drama queen. She is really something. Luckily the coach stood up to her and let it be known that such behavior is unacceptable - well done! Now they are complaining about the jersey's!
September has continued to be beautiful. The summer must have been one of the best on record. We are having a lull in the B&B as we move Kim, but that will stop as of the weekend.
We have decided to support Julia in the new skiing program. It comes down to a basic issue of timing - if she doesn't do it now it will be too late. But, it certainly has focused her mind on the need to manage her time, which is of course one of the primary learnings for athletes.
Kim played in her first golf tournament with Georgian. She hit 97 after some basic mistakes. Assume she will improve and benefit from the tournament experience.
