Day 19: Boxing day

Day 19 was the official moving day and it probably couldn't have been more hectic. Carolyn pulled an all nighter to get things packed at the old flat while I pushed on to get things ready at the new place - particularly making sure that we have important things like a floor, and one not full of nails.
The movers packed the truck quickly, missing a bunch of things on the way. Then they made a quick detour to grab a fridge from my colleague Miguel and progressed to surbiton. I only had one thing to do during the day and that was chairing a call at 2pm. And guess what time the movers showed up? 2.01pm. Awful timing. I was multitasking directing them with boxes and holding the meeting. Doing a poor job with each. Care followed this up with a hired car near midnight to drop off the next tranche of add stuff. How did we get so much junk when we arrived to the country 8 years ago with only 2 suitcases?
So one house is empty and one full of boxes. No worries about finishing the floors, you can't see them anyway!
