And Builds,

getting closer and closer. This is amazing, I feel like a kid again. I will have seen it at least once by this stage tomorrow. Funny I didn’t actually see Star Wars (the original) until after I saw Jedi. Thank god for video.

Excitement Builds

Drving to work today I passed under the huge billboard for ‘Attack Of The Clones‘. I can’t believe that this time tomorrow we’ll be driving to the cinema to watch it. Life is no better than when there is a new Star Wars movie – the sad thing is that there is only one more left to go after this.

The Age Agrees

The Age agrees with me! In Epicure today they rate my favourite garlic bread (from the The Australian Garlic Bread Company) as the best they tried. What an educated bunch they are.

Tuesday

Kitchen is done, boxes still ruling the roost. Probably Thursday, when we get some shelving, that things will get a move along. Balloons were out again this morning, makes the drive peaceful watching them. One was a huge Freddo Frog.

Keys

Okay, I’m not obsessed but this and this is the last time I will mention keys. The window key had been left in the kitchen window by the previous tenant.

That’s it. I’ll never talk of keys again.

Time To Blog

At last. What a busy weekend – we were both exhausted yesterday after the efforts of Saturday. Amazing how we moved both places with only the two of us. Rob cam over to help but by that stage we’d moved everything. Perhaps the most amazing thing was that we didn’t yell at each other once – not one cross word during the move. Moving is supposed to be the second most stressful event behind a death in the family so we think we came through okay.

About two thirds of the boxes have been done. We have a lack of book shelves that is holding up proceedings a little – they will be first on the list when we get some cash together. Followed a long way down the track by a couch.

My key wish is almost granted – just have the three front door keys on my chain. Most bizzare thing is that out of the 8 keys to the house we have not one opens the window locks. A beautiful weekend and the place, save for the front and back door, was all shut up. Angela the Absent Minded Agent is hunting a key up. With her on the case we have no worries – this time next year we should have the keys.

Stuffed

We moved today. We are exhausted. It’s 7.30 and time for bed. Too tired to type but very happy.

Lambs to the Slaughter

Just saw a kid starting in Food Services. He must be about the same age I was when I started. Memories….

Last Night I Dreamt of Cardboard Boxes Again

Boxes, everywhere. Yep, we are officially tenants after paying the rent we got the keys. I moved one car load from my place, then we did two loads of two cars from Rae’s. Thankfully Knackers cooked us a great dinner in-between loads that kept us going. It’s quite amazing the amount of junky we’ve transported already. A couple more loads tonight and then it’s just the big stuff tomorrow.

A big disappointment however is the keys. This place has more keys than a piano factory. Front door, dead lock, security door, window, sliding door, sliding security, patio bolts, window locks, back door, back dead lock and then there are the keys that seem to have no purpose. So much for minimalist approach to keys.

The amazing thing is the smell of the house. It is identical to a house I’ve known before, only thing is I can’t remember what one. It’ll come to me one day, otherwise it will drive me mad.
