Packed and ready

[lady_karelia]

Little Man and I spent a couple of days near my home-town, where I was born and grew up. I picked up my birth certificate, in case I need it in the future. We've had a great time, for me it was a bit bitter-sweet.

And now we're all packed. As in, completely packed. Keyboard, guitar, iMac, all is packed, and the only item open is one box, which I will seal once the shippers arrive, just in case I find something I forgot to pack. The forms to fill in are something else, of course. I experienced close to a heart attack when I read them! I mean, honestly. Next thing they'll ask is how many times a week I have sex! *grumble*

But hopefully, the wait will soon be over. The shippers will be here tomorrow to pick up the stuff, then we can go to London, attend the interview at the embassy and then hopefully be off to a new life yet again. I'm tremendously looking forward to it.

We took loads of pictures, and I will upload them at some stage, just dunno when. Right now, living out of a suitcase, life is somewhat, uh, busy.

Chapter X stands at 4.5k and isn't finished. I could have stopped when Hermione's POV ended, but it just didn't seem right. So it'll be longer than usual, but will include Severus' POV of the same events. I can't promise to reach the point of First Kiss, but I'm working on it.

Ah yes... the "Guyanese Box" we called ours when we were leaving... why we say Guyanese is because people from Guyana often pack up all sorts of things (fool, clothes, beach towels, stamps etc) all together in one big box... or they just pack all kinds of thinbgs you wouldn't think that people would pack... so it's one of our amusing West Indian jokes.

I really hope the move goes well for ya and you, Little Man and Dorkboy are very happy :)

Be good and stay warm

the "Guyanese Box"

ROFL! Coming to think of it, all of mine are packed that way. For economical reasons, really, it was much easier packing glassware inside coats and the like than having to buy paper to pack it, ya know? So, loads of Guyanese Boxes, lol.

Thank you kindly for your good wishes. I'll be so glad when this move is over. :-)

Thank you, dear. In a way, I feel sad that I didn't get a chance to re-visit Austria. I have fond memories of childhood holidays in St Wolfgang and Salzburg. :-)
