And we're moved
And relax. Well no, don't relax. Now we have to find space for all this stuff.
Our old house was a relatively new build, on a corner so some of the rooms were slightly weird shapes but that gave us so much room. The new place is an ex-council house, I suspect 1930s-1940s build, full of nooks and crannies but not, on the whole, with any rooms that big. Actually I lie slightly, the kitchen/diner is big. It's long and thin though, so doesn't feel huge.
So now we're in the process of trying to get all of our stuff in. It's only when you have to move it all that you realise just how much crap you own.
Moving in, we've had issues with electricity, gas, Sky & the phone line. From a services perspective, that sucks. However at least we got a phone line on Monday and internet connection even if it is dog slow right now (<1MB/s!?). With any luck it'll train over the next few days and get quicker. Tomorrow should be the last thing with the visit from a Sky engineer.
This weekend coming is NineWorlds! I'm quite excited about this. Last year's event was fabulous, and this year's line up is looking just as awesome. We go down on Thursday and come back Monday, and it's the closest thing to a holiday I'm likely to get this year.
And even more exciting, at Nineworlds, I might get to meet elmyra, after following her on LJ and Twitter for probably 10yrs and never yet being in the same place at the same time.
