So in 5 days time I willbe flying over to Bochum, Germany, where I will be working for the next three years. Over the last month we have had a computer game cosplay themed leaving party, friends staying over, our friend James leaving for Hamburg to start his new games design job, and we have said farewell to a number of others.
Leaving our flat involved large amounts of books being packed and things being thrown away/given away. We got the flat nice and tidy in the end but of course there will be deductions from our deposit. Anything we get back will be a bonus.
Everything easily fitted into the moving van, and so we travelled up later on Thursday with the last few things, mainly laptops and electrical things.
Now we are at my mother-in-law's place, with boxes of our stuff everywhere. We will need to sort through it again so it can take up less space. We have also been reunited for a short period with our cats. They seem to have become even more friendly and are quite happy and get on OK with the two older cats that are already here.
Yesterday we had the chance to meet up with my wife's brother and his girlfriend. We had food at quite a hip pizza restaurant, with pizzas like brie and duck, or wasabi prawns. Today, later on, my sister and her boyfriend are turning up, and will be dropping off a suitcase for us to use, as we will be filling that one so that it can be sent so it arrives just after we get to Germany.
Overall it has been a bit draining the move. I will tired, mainly in my legs and back as muscles feel well and truely stretched. I'm also wheezing a little, but I think that is a combination of muscle tiredness, dust and also the fumes from the oven cleaning spray.
Tonight we will be going to Black Planet, a goth/industrial night. It is a special event in memory of a local DJ who passed away, but it will also then be a good chance to catch up with those we have not seen much of for the last 3 years.
Tuesday will also be a busy day as in the morning I will be popping into my old research lab and in the evening going to watch my wi'fe brother's band playing.
Right. I need to have breakfast and relax some more.
