Settling in nicely...
Well, time for a catch-up. Photos will follow once my chest of drawers has been put together (have to buy it tomorrow though - hope they've still got one in the store!) but my sister's comment last weekend when she came over for lunch was that it looks like I've been here for years - I moved in just over a month ago!
I'm getting used to the neighbourhood... and learning to drive into it very slowly because not only is the street quite narrow and there are loads of cars parked on each side, but there are some people who drive through it quite fast! Nearly had bingles twice with one person in particular who hoons along like he owns the road.
My next door neighbours are terrific - they are Polish with 2 youngsters who don't make loads of noise (well, one is still a baby) and the husband has been a great help. In exchange for being able to change a 10 pound note one weekend, and accepting a delivery for them last weekend, he's helped me put up my shower curtain rail and hauled a small bookshelf upstairs to lie it on top of the other two small ones I have that hold all my craft gear.
My study is now pretty much sorted. The final sort out will happen when I can sort out the wardrobe in the bedroom... which will be on Tuesday when said chest of drawers gets built!
Maybe now I can get back to doing some writing... and finish off the final check through of The Novel and send it off to a publisher before the end of the year.
