It wasn't a very Eastery Easter, was it? Well, not for me. There is a lot to digest in the world right now. That and, well, we are moving in 8 days.
So driving, gathering and feasting were low on the priority list.
Image: yes, Ms Gangsterrrrr, I am aware of the too much stuff too little room theory of relativity.
Mind you, while I have had a weekend of pedalling furiously, I fear that little of it got results.
So the teensy tiny bit of socialising that I did have was welcome.

Still, it's going to happen whether I am ready or not.
This whole move thing.
Image: she'll be apples - or maybe pears on special at a local Coles.
It has also unearthed artifacts of us, our civilisation of this ground for 19 1/2 years.
One of the memories unearthed was of printing and sticking labels onto school stationery. Suddenly, whilst realising that while we would never do that in Paradise again, I also realised that I may never cover stationary again.
How liberating.
Image: may be the last pikelets cooked at Chez Paradise - but definitely the first cooked in the you beaut frypan Dad picked up in a "two for the price of one" tv deal.
I do make a mean pikelet though, and am looking forward to continue that in - what should the next place be called?
Image: apologies to Mum and my grandmothers for the language - but they would have appreciated the sentiment.
To work tomorrow - heigh ho. Four days to next five day stretch in which the move will happen.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t rain on the day. Don’t forget one box for the tea coffee sugar bickies milk and kettle!
Getting down to the wire. I think Ms Gangsterrrrr is ready. Paradise 2.0? After all, Paradise is already in your blog name.
I love cats, and black cats are amazing.
I wish you all the best, dear friend.
Hmmmmmm... I shall consider this carefully.
I hate moving too, but how happy you will be in your new home.
Jeanieiin Utopia?
What Cathy said and now the countdown begins, 8,7,6....
Excellent idea
Possibility- thank you (the blog itself won't change - far too lazy
Thank you Linda
I will put it into the mix thanks Debby - as said to Kelly, blog address won't change
Indeed. At "this time next week"
Also, get the beds made up first thing so you have somewhere to rest and nap when the unpacking gets to be too much.
Changing homes is both hard and exciting. I hope your packing and moving is going well. The meme at the end is so funny.
Packing up and moving is a major event. I hope it goes well for you. Thanks for the visit.
I don't know how you managed writing a post during a move! I hope everything goes well for you. An exciting time and an exhausting one!
The active linen is going to be in my car with electronics
Isn't it? Thank you 🙏
Thank you
There is still "down time" (or at least time when I have to be quiet as others are sleeping)
Just immersing in your MOVE---there, I said it. We have M'ed eleven times in our marriage, if you count the small temporaries during his years as Scout Master. I can still wrap the family crystal in the family's undergoods, and have tape-dispensers which have lived in the drawers of five consecutive houses.
I'm here by happenstance, catching your name Jeanie on I believe la Table de Nana, and mistaking you for MY Jeanie, who has been such a faithful and sweet reader of my blog. So Hello, and since we've over here in the Heartland have been peeking in on all that Froofraw from that scary couple who are visiting your shores, it's fabulous to find a PERSON---real people going about the REALS of life, a move and new start and hopefuller prospects.
I'm joining in if I can, and will be back to see more of your adventures. Stay warm and well, rachel at LAWN TEA blog
Thank you Racheld - there are a few good Jeanies around :D Welcome.
