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.

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!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea

ReplyDeleteThe active linen is going to be in my car with electronics
DeleteChanging homes is both hard and exciting. I hope your packing and moving is going well. The meme at the end is so funny.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Thank you 🙏
DeletePacking up and moving is a major event. I hope it goes well for you. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThere is still "down time" (or at least time when I have to be quiet as others are sleeping)
