just a quickie

Brilliant news - we have exchanged contracts on the house and the flights are booked.
So, we are now officially... very excited and a tad nervous, as well as being run off our feet. There are 1,072 things to do before we fly next Tuesday.

Luckily I have only been allocated two tasks:
Firstly I have to disinfect anything that has ever stepped foot outdoors - its proving to be slightly troublesome because I have to go outdoors to do it thus creating more cleaning, its like painting the fourth bridge.
Secondly I have to clear the rooms of furniture. In doing so I have discovered that there is something in life worse than assembling flat pack furniture, namely dismantling flat pack furniture. It really wasn't created with taking apart in mind.
Obviously, I've chucked a couple of bolts away so that it will be even harder to put together at the other end.

The packers are coming to take over on Wednesday and Thursday so it might calm down again then. Although Wendy is still on the phone cancelling things... insurance, pensions and my subscription to Big Busts (its an art magazine about large sculptures).

We are very grateful to David & Sarah for agreeing to put us all up and put up with all of us, for the best part of a week, once our furniture has been whisked away to litter a beech in Devon.

Hopefully, I will get a chance to blog a bit more later in the week - if I can find a chair to sit on... so if you think your heart can take it join us again for the next exciting episode. (for those of you old enough to remember insert the theme tune for Dick Barton - special agent here).
