We had a bit of a roller coaster day today. It wasn’t very nice checking out of our holiday home (long story!) and it poured with rain all day. But on the upside, today we moved into our own house! Well it’s rented, but it’s a proper, long-term home. Not only that, but all our possessions arrived from Auckland today.
We haven’t seen most of this stuff for three and a half years so it’s been a hugely exciting day discovering lots of old treasures – as well as a whole load of stuff which we seriously shouldn’t have kept in storage for 3.5 years, eg a bottle of sweet chilli sauce which was 3 years past its sell-by date.
Meanwhile the kids ran riot and moved everything as soon as I’d unpacked it. We couldn’t find anything to cook with or eat off, so Pizza Hut got a call as it was the only number I could remember from 3 years ago: “Oh eight hundred, eighty three, eighty three, eighty three, la la la”.
Meanwhile, Jake missed out on pizza because he got lost on the way home from work and ended up walking several kilometres in the lashing rain and wind. Two hours later, a bedraggled curly man arrived on the doorstep, but even he is excited about seeing our stuff again and is about to put my piano up!
