Luckily it will give us time to clean our rental which looks like it's been the target of a sustained and unhygienic robbery. We've been going up there every day and just walking round the empty house, taking boxes and small things. It's taken up all our time - with a couple of pleasant distractions (the FA Cup, dinner with the lovely Charlie O and his Dad as they passed through Austin) and I'll be glad when we're in. We're having a weekend of decorating with some pals coming over to help, so we took a load of paint up yesterday and got talking to our neighbours. Our direct neighbour was watering her lawn while holding a pint glass of red wine, which cheered me up no end. We also realise that the garden that backs up to our house and that of our neighbours belongs to a couple that have peacocks, goats, cats, dogs, birds, small mammals and "big heaps of junk" so I think we're all going to get along fine.
Properly "chuffed" for you here.
