It has happened. Last week was a blur, but, by some small miracle, and the hard work of two fabulous helpers, I have moved!!! The apartment is WONDERFUL. It’s on the top floor of a converted mill and the views are spectacular!
(I'll take more photos, with my real camera, on a less cloudy day.)
Nothing feels strange or unfamiliar -- as if I've lived here much longer than five days. However, the partly unpacked boxes and general disorganisation prove that I’m barely installed. And I can confirm -- as a scientific fact -- unpacking takes ten times longer than packing.
Speaking of which, it took a non-stop, twenty-hour packing marathon to have everything ready to leave the haunted house by last Wednesday’s deadline.
I am now totally, utterly, and completely exhausted. Which is perhaps why the unpacking is such hard work.
This apartment does seem to be ghost-free. All I’m picking up on the ether is my neighbours’ Wi-Fi. Lucky for me, as mine won’t be connected for another week to ten days. :)

Sweet view.
HAPPY NEW HOME!!! Lots of luck in it.
Relax, pour some wine and ENJOY unpacking! :)
Ah, moving. There are few things in life that suck so grandly!
Travis - it is mesmerizing. I keep wandering to the windows and staring out... No wonder the unpacking takes ages!
Cate - thank you so much! This place feels really, really good.
John - thanks! I’d forgotten the wine!
Natalie - LOL! After weeks of chaos, I believe I do agree.
:)
Sorry, to be chiming in so late. But I'm glad the move went well. And that you're feeling settled about the place. Unpacking? Yikes. Just do it bit by bit?
Barrie – thanks! I love it here. :)
