Moving Day

I am exhausted.

I set the alarm for 8am this morning which doesn't impress me on a Saturday. My dad and Warren's (housemate) dad both rocked up with trailers to help us do the move. It has taken us all day, including doing two trips on my own that filled my 5dr hatch with the seats down twice... and that was just for little junky stuff, although I admit I did a lousy job of packing.

One thing I will say, is how good it is when a bunch of blokes get into a big job and get it done with a minimum of fuss... including steak sandwiches with the lot and chips for lunch all round.

I'm up at my folks' place for dinner now (which explains how I managed to get internet access). At the time of leaving the house, it was quite well set up already. Well, my room's a bit of a mess but it will get there in the end.

Things I like about this house compared to the old one:

• Bigger kitchen with more bench space.
• Not having to dance around the kitchen table to get from the kitchen bench to the sink.
• The door to bathroom is not in the kitchen
  
• Bigger loungeroom which is actually separate to the kitchen and will fit a good number of people for whatever reason we come up with.
• My bedroom has a big window that gets the afternoon sun, instead of being a dingy little porthole that looks out onto a concrete backyard and a dilapidated old corrugated iron 'fence'.
• The back gate works without lifting it into its hinges to pivot it properly.
• The bathroom has a little wall-mounted heater that might actually work.

Potential downsides:

• Lawnmowing
