I packed up 7 boxes of books yesterday and only emptied one shelf. But the stacks of books in my living room are gone, so that is a plus. Now to get them all into the new library.

We're #MovingHouse tomorrow! The contents of my kitchen are packed except for essential tea-making paraphenalia. #Tea has punctuated my day of packing & cleaning with deliciousness & a chance to sit down.

Evening Twters!

Sofa and fridge/freezer in today. Little creature comforts from Vinted arrived. Still need a table to eat from, and a bedside table, and I want to get a day-bed for the spare room instead of the put-you-up I have in there now but finances will take time to recover for that!

Tonight, an easy oven-curry, naan, and a glass of fizz out of my very posh wine glasses that I've never used in the 4 years I've had them because they're all that's unpacked so far!

Bliss. 😘

I'm in. Important things dealt with.

I've had tea. Now unpacking boxes.

Bath then bed this evening.

But I'm in!

This morning we moved more than 20 of my large glazed #paintings into storage with a dear friend in #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire, close to our #NewHome - into which we move in just TWO weeks.

Thank goodness for my daughter-in-law & her vintage VW #campervan. 🙏 They'd never all fit in our Mini!

what is the point of a water saving toilet if we have to flush it twice ‽

Trying to focus on small annoyances like having to change my phone number rather than big ones like having to pack up my entire fucking house, including all my psychological baggage. #MovingHouse

Dilemma. You have recently moved to a new city and you have a cat. You would like to go away on holiday for a week.

You used to have trustworthy neighbours who would look after the cat.

We may have some of those here too, but we haven't found them yet.

Which boils down: no holiday this year. A pity, but I wouldn't dream of leaving our Geisha with people I don't trust 100%

ok, today was an effing long day. But the pods are loaded (to the brim!) with all my crap.

And I do mean "crap". I feel like I have way too much stuff. And I jettisoned a ton of things I was already feeling marginal about and had decided to bring and deal with on the other side, but when I discovered we were in danger of going to 3 boxes, not 2... hell no! (it'd be another $1K at least).

I do wish I had dealt with it better in advance and freecycled some of the stuff that I (sadly) had to end up junking. But my car was already loaded and the apartment was all packed and I needed to start my journey (tomorrow a.m.)

But fuuuuuuck this was a loooong (and crazy hot and humid) day.
