I think it's going to be an early night tonight. Mr Woof "helped" make the bed. The new bed frame fits around the mattress quite tighly compared to the old one, it should help to keep the sheets in place much better.

I had pretty much everything I need for the first night and tomorrow packed and labeled to make things as easy as possible, but completely forgot about my slippers. They are packed in a box with all my shoes, which I think is somewhere in the garage. Fortunately my parting gift from work included some nice fluffy warm socks with grippy soles to wear inside, and I know where that basket is.

Thank you. We have survived the move, the removalists were both friendly and efficient and all appears to have indeed gone well.

I am moved!

The moving guys were very efficient, and my sister was absolutely fabulous and kept Mr Woof out of trouble for me. He and Miss Meow are a bit perplexed as to what is going on and where we are, but doing ok. I will need to try to clear some boxes before dinner so there is somewhere to feed them. Also need to set up their water fountain and make my bed.

I still can't believe just how many boxes of stuff I have.

One packed lunch please.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Moving day. I am still packing.

I thought to start the day with coffee and realised I have packed my teaspoons. I was able to find the emergency teaspoon from my work lunchbag, so complete disaster was averted.

Miss Meow is currently chomping on her drugged breakfast. Wobbles and confinement to follow.

I have absolutely no idea how all that stuff possibly fitted in the shelves and cupboards, I am convinced everything must expand as it goes into the box.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I've been thinking it's just a couple more boxes needed for about four boxes now, and the kitchen cupboards still aren't empty ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And once I finish the kitchen I still have a laundry cupboard, the bedroom and some shed/garden stuff to do. I think I underestimated how much physical effort this takes. When I was younger and fitter I could have got this done a lot quicker.

Oh yeah, I still have to do a final clean of the fridge and freezer too.

You're doing good!

Would you have any soup to spare, by any chance? I was hoping for a bowl of Vietnamese noodley goodness from chef, but the witch told me to Pho off, it's all hers.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'll have some of what the witch is having, please.

Just a few more hours and I'll be finished up working in my current office. Twenty years with some of these people, it doesn't feel quite real yet to be leaving.

There has been a lot of food and some lovely gifts. All warmth themed, as befits a move to Ballarat. Plus an ice scraper for the car windscreen!

You could end up with a chicken volcano. A cone of chicken built around a fondue pot.

I've been trying to work out how you would hold the thing together. If serving cold melted cheese would work. For hot all I can come up with is a special mold and a really big deep fryer that can fry it all in one piece.
