We are in. The four hour drive took 12 hours through gridlocked ice and snow. Very much involved with unpacking boxes, not in being online.

New home is awesome, very small, but awesome. More later.

Well done, Timmy. I did think of you and worried a bit.

Love,
Anthony

Still sleep deprived, and LOADS of boxes to sort through.

I had 113 boxes last time we moved... It took about a year to sort it all out . My partner eventually saying that If i'd not needed it or used it in that period did I really still need to keep "it"... Jury's still out on that one.

But glad you made it our young friend from Newbury had as bad a time getting along the M4 all this last week for work.

When I heard the weather reports I thought you'd upset someone up there. You wondered earlier whether the 21 December was auspicious.

Have a good Christmas. if you have heat and food you can pull up the drawbridge for a couple of days.

Hugs

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

The answer is that it was auspicious. A day later and we would have made it and our possessions would have been in a ditch. Devon was closed on Wednesday, but, had the van got through, it was freezing rain all day.

Apart from Christmas day our objective is at least two boxes per day. I also have to get my study set up in my shed and do my accounts before the end of January. We'll get there.

He had forty-two boxes all carefully packed
with his name painted clearly on each
but since he ommitted to mention the fact
they were all left behind on the beach.

I've still got boxes that have never been sorted since we moved here in 1992!

I think you are doing really well.

Love,
Anthony
