Hither and thither

Well, it's been a hectic few days I have to say.  The shippers arrived to pack the furniture.  Just two of them!  It was a bit nerve-wracking really.  Not sure what to do.  Showed the foreman what needed packing (pretty much everything!) and then hung about for a bit.  Eventually we felt in the way so we left and went back to our apartment.  Took them some fish and chips for their lunch.  They had made a good start - never seen so much brown paper in my life!!

It's very odd to see our stuff wrapped up.  Everything is being labelled though.  They really seem very good but I suppose the proof is in the safe arrival of it all.  They were at the house until 6.00pm and then arrived at 8.00 the following morning.

The weather couldn't really have been worse - astonishing amount of rainfall and cold with it.  Really hoping that the rain eases up when they take the stuff out of the house.

This morning, we popped up and took their lunch orders.  Just getting back to the apartment when Virgin rang to say they were collecting the Virgin boxes in 10 minutes!!  No warning of this, so....back up the hill we went and met the man there and gave him the boxes back.  Then back down to the apartment for a bit of a chill and catch up.........phew!
