Tuesday 24^th June

SHE SAID:

We had a few things to get done today: the Power of Attorney to the bank, the car to be cleaned inside & outside. Then we had our packing for home to do, & for the case that we are leaving behind in the storage.

In the late afternoon the people who are buying Mum’s car arrived & the paperwork was done to finalise the handover.

We decided on the Tandoori House for dinner, as the next-door Chinese, our first choice, was closed!

HE SAID:

When we got to the bank, which was Varena’s 4^th attempt to sort out the paperwork for Jan’s Power of Attorney, we just said that the paperwork that she had brought the last time was all correct and asked that it be submitted. So, the bloke took a copy and that was that. A shame it took such efforts though.

Jan was surprisingly not distraught at the collection of her car by the new owners in the evening. The topic had been raised many times over the last few weeks, so I anticipated a scene, but it didn’t eventuate. She had agreed to the sale weeks ago, especially when she had it in writing from a doctor, and then verbally from other doctors, that she wasn’t to drive. But the loss of independence seemed to overwhelm the logic for a while. But it is done now; I helped out with the online form that needed filling in, the money was transferred, the keys handed over.
