A journey actually starts with a hell of a lot of preparation, military planning by a Germanic spouse, lots of injections and visas and general admin and then finally, because you haven't yet had the will to live sucked from your very bones, you get to pack up your belongings and put them into storage.
Joy of joys. The last week has been simply excellent - sifting through possessions, realising we haven't used a third of what we have and then trying to figure out how the hell we are going to pack them into a box without breaking them! After all, what's the point of packing something if it's only going to break? Might as well throw it away now and save yourself the bother of lugging it down those bl**dy stairs!
Anyway, with only a couple of weeks (literally) before we leave, all of this is becoming more bearable (well, just about!)....the end is nigh and it's only just the beginning.
We cannot wait.
Thanks for reading.
This all seems like SUCH a long time ago......but it was only 2 weeks :)
ReplyDelete...and in 8 months time it will feel like so much longer ago and all the unpacking will feel like opening well known and loved Xmas and B'day presents on the same day which will be fun too. Hopefully no breakage and another chance to declutter...and add some new exotic finds.
