Ce chapitre pourrait s'intituler:"A la recherche de l'Essentiel". Le Pepto Bismol ou le vin rouge???? Le vin aide a faire les bons choix! Non, je n’ai pas de débordements capillaires ou cutanés qui me forcent a appliquer mille crèmes ou onguents mais j’ai la « Cosco-ite » et donc j’achète des grands formats ou la Walmartite qui fait que je profite des aubaines! Et voila, le moment arrive ou tous ces flacons doivent être sauvagement réduits au confins d’une mini armoire!!! Ou on se lave très souvent les cheveux!!!!

We have moved ....!

The house is empty, and we are in the process of cleaning up each room, fixing holes in the wall, and get the place ready for our Belgian/German tenants.

In the process, we emptied every cupboard and moved our stuff onto La Buena Vida.

Every load disappeared, and the only sign that we were adding "stuff" to the boat was that the waterline was getting lower and lower ...

But a big job was ahead: The "cosmetics and medical division" had a lot of stuff coming to the boat.

Today, we went over bottles, and creams, powders and more bottles, ... ok! ... eventually we managed to get this pile into something we could actually store away. But we had to make a hierarchy: to sort the essential, that is the question! (Marleyne seems to be pondering over her choices: Pepto Bismol or red wine???? but really the wine just helps her to make up her mind!)

And we have still space for more!!!!

Sometime .... we will go sailing to try out the boat. New equipment (meaning new to the boat, but bought used as back up systems for some of our existing gear) is to arrive in the next couple of days. Which means, more things to store. But if all fails, we will tow a barge behind us to ensure that we are properly equipped!

You never know when you need this anti-wrinkle cream!

Cheers!
