The new home is fan-tas-tic. The neighborhood is quiet and green, we now have a GARDEN which is lovely (even though it'll stay 90% bricks until we tackle that project next year), and I get to bicycle everywhere through lush parks. After a lot of work, most of our stuff and furniture is now where it needs to be. The only two downsides are that money is evaporating at unforeseen rates and that the previous owner was good at fixing up rooms? But his pipework around the boiler was described today as 'dangerously amateurish'. $300 just to fix it so it's safe to operate... Opened my work email today for the first time in 5 weeks. I did a good enough job of handing shit over that I had 250 emails to breeze through of which only a dozen still require action.
