emskWe have moved! And we now have INTERNETS OMG YAY, after what was far too much hassle with Orcon and Telecom.
Finally fixed today, after a very nice man turned up to install our broadband socket in the study. He looked a bit blank when he found out we had no internets or telephone, buzzed off down to the exchange, wiggled plugs, and lo! Internet! And also telephone! Yay!
The move itself went incredibly well. Thanks to the sterling efforts of our friends, who are all wonderful, everything got moved and at-least-partially unpacked in what must be record time. I eventually utterly lost track of who was doing what - Tobermory and I were working completely separately, most of the time - but it all got here, except for the last few odds and sods over at the old flat, which are waiting for us to finish cleaning and tidying.
The new furniture got delivered on time, and people helped us put it up, and it's lovely.
And at some point of Saturday, I purchased an ungodly amount of meat, which was subsequently cooked during the inaugural barbeque, generally acclaimed as "tasty".
I think we eventually fell into bed sometime about 2am, having marinaded ourselves inside and out whilst in the spa pool. (We cracked open the Johnnie Walker red label that I got via dutyfree awhile back.)
We have various new things. Table, chairs, beds. Breadmaker, vacuum cleaner, cast iron frypan.
I am supremely glad I took this week off work, as it's been rather tiring moving/unpacking/finding, adjusting to newhouse noises, and so forth.
Life is good. I'm happy. HOUSE.
