As mentioned last week we purchased a Canon printer/scanner at Best Buy in Port Charlotte and this has turned out to be a brilliant idea as we had no idea how much we would need to print and and scan. On Tuesday the 11th we took a trip down to Fort Myers for a change to visit the Costco store there but primarily to visit a stationary store where we could purchase a stapler, filing folder and hole punch, Sellotape and paperclips and envelopes and so we are now prepared for most things that the solicitors are sending to us.
We are aware of an exchange of contract date of 5th March but not sure how this will impact upon our holiday timings and an earlier flight home, we shall see.We have to agree with the builders flooring and paint and other factors but awaiting a complete list so that we can understand what we have to agree to, perhaps we can do it all from here or not as the case may be, we shall see.
On Tuesday after a busy day out in Fort Myers we went for an early dinner at the Lighthouse Restaurant and Bar in Englewood and this is located in a strange place just behind a very cheap and run down housing area but the views and food were really good, Jennifer said the crab cakes were to die for whilst the gulf bay prawns which Noel were also excellent.
Noel has been communicating with some old colleagues in Hong Kong about what is happening from a rioting and virus infection perspective and does not make good ready. Many Chinese factories are closed but hoping to reopen in March which means that many suppliers are behind on delivery and so air cargo will be a mad house in April.
Today we took the hire car for a clean in and out as it was in a disgusting state when received, we have complained to hertz but not sure what good has been done, we shall see.
Having spent the morning on paperwork and shopping its now time to sit by the pool for a brief rest and looking forward to a BBQ of sirloin steak and Pork ribs, sound terrible doesn't it.
