ravenIn lieu of actually telling y'all about the Great House Move '11 (there have been tears! there have been fears! there have been BOXES), I think I will just heave a sight of relief and flump on the sofa.
...but we've moved! Thank you, everyone who helped and cheerled; it took three days, a transit van, a lot of loving and kind relatives (Shim's dad, on realising exactly how much stuff can fit in my mum's car, noted that "That car's like a TARDIS"; my mother, on the other hand, cheerfully said it reminded her of the human vagina) and me driving fifty miles down country A-roads swearing all the way, but somehow we've made it and we have a place and it has stuff in it. I am still a little thrown for a very big loop. Shim has been making lists and measuring rooms and contemplating bookcases. I have been wandering around going, "Wow, we have a bathtub. Wow, we have a kitchen table. Wow, we have supporting walls."
(Speaking of which, people who can actually drive, how can you? I started learning to drive when I was eighteen, passed my driving test in 2007, have intermittently driven since, have driven a number of different cars, have practised in car parks and pestered my incredibly patient and wonderful former driving instructor, and I still can't drive. It's amazing. I don't know how other people manage it.)
Internet is spotty - this is a dongle - so I may not be around very much. But... we made it.
