Well, we’re out. It’s been really manic since Thursday when the ‘man and van’ helped us move our furniture into our storage unit. He arrived at 10 and we didn’t stop until we were back home and sitting down to ‘lunch’ at 4. Between then and now we must have taken another ten carloads with bits and pieces, each time rearranging and ‘jiggling’ to stow everything away.
The car (Ford Focus, practical, but unexciting) was sold this afternoon and it is just hitting us now that we have nothing really big left to do other than give a few more people a change of address and go back to re-arrange the unit yet again. I’ll post a picture when we’re finally done. It’s like a giant 3D puzzle.
We might manage a glass of wine tonight – we’ve decided the champagne, or more probably Prosecco, can wait until we’re in Italy as it’ll be a lot cheaper. We are postponing Mark’s birthday to next week too. It was actually a few days ago when we didn’t stop from dawn to dusk and I had also left his birthday card in a drawer in a chest of drawers in the middle of a tower of furniture in storage. I made one instead on a scrap of paper.
Two more nights in Blighty and then we’re off.
