Day 9: Capena

Talk about hitting the ground running, I’ve been here under a day and the house clearance in preparation for the sale of my big house is going well. My cleaner has already taken practically everything that wasn’t nailed down.

I spread the word that I was giving everything away yesterday. People are already getting quite shirty because I’ve given away things they had their eye on. You couldn’t make it up.
I’m 100% sure the house will be stripped by Friday. I’ll be lucky if the radiators are still on the walls.

Tomorrow I’m going to the estate agents to meet the buyer and I suspect a few envelopes of cash will change hands. I’m not entirely sure what’s happening, but the final contract should be signed next Monday.

In the meantime, the weather is glorious and Capena is as quirky as ever
