Moving House

So Caroline and I have finally made the big plunge into the property market and bought our first house. We've been renting for the past four years and just got sick of paying someone else's rent. We now have a three bedroom house (plus study) on a half acre plot of land. And it's got a swimming pool. Very South African.

I also have my own office where I can see the sky again. (Growing up I could see spectacular sunsets from the desk in my bedroom. Since moving away from home I've lived in four different houses and have never had any good views. But now I can see a wide arc of sky from my office and the sun sets directly in front of the deck. Yay. I don't know why but I'm much happier when I can see clouds drifting by outside.)

We moved in last Thursday, so everything is a bit of a mess. The only thing unpacked in my office is the desk and computer. Everything else will follow once I've painted over the strange hint-of-bile color the previous owner seemed partial to. I'll also post pics once I've tracked down the camera

Urgh. Yeah, right. We're nearly finished now, though. Just need to pain my office then I can unpack all my books

Thank Keith. Nearly all done now. Just in time for the Xmas rush. :-) Never move house in December.
