The move has gone well. All my furniture fits into the new flat, all the boxes have been opened and the vast majority emptied and sorted. It appears a couple of pictures have gone astray, so I will have to get onto the original movers to see if they have a 'lost property' stash into which they may have been put as long ago as last autumn. If they are lost for good I will be disappointed, but it's hardly the end of the world is it?
Anyway, I have rediscovered muscles I had forgotten I had (which now ache) and have a brain like so much cotton wool after a few days of physical hard labour. This is when I realise that I am 47 not 27!
Still, I am loving my new home, and have all but one room pretty much sorted out now. I also have no less than 6 boxes of stuff for the church spring fair as I have unpacked boxes and wondered just why I still had some assorted clutter I did. And, shock horror, there are even a fair few books amongst what is going... maybe I am finally learning to hold my possessions a little more lightly?
Now I just need to finish preparations for tomorrow's service on the theme of 'time' as part of our stewardship... and then maybe fall asleep!
