It has been a while...

So, since Labour weekend:

Labour weekend: Fri to Mon morning Folk festival. I think it worked out to ~9 hours of singing in total + some very good concerts and some occasional sleeping. Picked up 2 CDs from groups I liked - The Jimies* and Catgut and Steel. Got home round lunch and with assistance from many wonderful people (S,S,T,K and R) there were 2 loads done and the majority of stuff was over. And much food and good company in the evening, hosted by R&S&A. And then the first night in the new place.

* Yay to very good "celtization" of Eleanor Rigby.

The following week was filled with the usual paid work in the day and house cleaning and shifting remnants of stuff in the evenings. That weekend, on the Sat, we did the last cleaning and gardening and formally surrendered keys etc for the old place. Sweet-off Local big fireworks display in the evening (if I remember correctly - Ed: nope). Sun was unpacking. Kitchen and books seemed highest priority.

This past week has been more unpacking on average. Thurs was spent in town at the fireworks over the Harbour. Many big sparkly explosions.

This weekend: Fri evening much late night company and conversation at R's for his birthday drinkies. Sat: more tidying than unpacking. Much fun at M's steam-punk birthday party. Many quite cool costumes. Sun: more unpacking and tidying and rearranging.

Dug out the embroidery, so finally able to get back to working on the blackworked coif. All the way across at the top now.

Think that covers things.
