4.50pm - Another spectacularly beautiful spring day outside and frenzied packing day inside. It looks like all of Seattle is outdoors, not just outdoors but they have all landed on Alki. There has been a steady stream of traffic all day long and non stop action outside from joggers, bikers, roller bladers, walkers, cars with boom boxes, motor cycle guys and for the first time this year - the ICE CREAM VAN!!!! Thats a sure sign of the weather warming up. I still remember when G was a kid - oh about 3 years old -he'd jump up from his afternoon nap when he heard the van come by. That was so cute and sooooo long ago :-(
9.41pm - Anyway, today was another very productive day in terms of packing. Our kitchen cupboards look like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboards - say that twice fast - we're down to bare essentials, milk, bread, eggs and butter. Dinner was a feast today - soup and omelettes instead of a protein shake or cereal - woo hoo! Had 3 people come and take a look at my car which is for sale. They are all interested and are all trying to get us to lower the price, so we're also playing the cat and mouse game...lets see what happens. Watched another superb episode of West Wing tonite. They are down to the final 3 episodes before the show ends May 14th. I think that is a sure sign that its time for us to return to India....i mean with West Wing no longer airing new shows, there's no reason for us to stay?
