Since I last blogged ( a fortnight ago) We have done sooo much. All our possessions we packed back on the 11th August have arrived. And we had very little broken (two glasses and a mirror) and - as far as we can tell NOTHING stolen! Which is very unusual. Of course the container didn't arrive during half term theat would be far too easy, it arrived the day I went back to school - oh and the day the lifts were all being serviced so no lift! the container was too big to come through our double security fence so the men had to carry EVERYTHING from the front of the compound right around and up the two storied to our flat. That was, 169 boxes and all our furniture and if you can remember what our settees and tables were like they are big and very heavy. It was amazing opening the boxes, we couldn't remember what was in them and it was a voyage of discovery every box. Lots of coos and aahs and OMG why did we pack that? (Why exactly did I pack neoprene lined wellingtons, and thick DuBarry boots? not to mention the 7 cardigans, puffa waistcoats and winter skirts!)But when I got to the food box I was in heaven - marmite at last
So the flat is getting to really look like home and we have our barbeque on the balcony, food in the cupboards and a humungously large TV (Carl won out and we went and bought a massive new TV) oh and a table and chairs to sit on the balcony and drink our Gin. Now I have finally found my camera lead I can start to take some proper photos.
I'll continue this catch up on another page...
