Moving sucks

- spend ages carefully packing everything in boxes and bags, marveling at how you've managed to collect so much cr*p over the last 18 months

- lug it all to the car and play tetris trying to get everything to fit in

- drive 10kms taking care not to break anything going over the numerous speed bumps and pot-holes

- lug it all into the villa and unpack what you only finished packing half an hour ago

- repeat

IT'S SOOOOOOO DEPRESSING!!!

Don't worry Da, she was referring to the scented kitchen cleaner we use to clean up whenever my dog pees on the floor (which it often does when we have visitors).

Nothing to do with you - unless the wolf is prone to have a little accident when he gets excited?!?!

Hey, it's her job that brought us out here! I was quite happy living the dream in London village. But no, she wanted to go live in the desert, so here we are.

Thank you DG. I'm glad you're around to set me straight!

I wouldn't mind so much if we were moving "properly" - i.e. not just 10km down the road!

It took us maybe a month to organize it ... the sad thing my family left in vacation so everything was not still in its proper place ... have to spend the 40 days vacation [were the best in my life]  looking for stuff, but it was fun ... was putting everything back to its place when i got the chance ...

Don't worry owen - I'm rocking out to last nights Zane Lowe Radio1 show as we speak! Thanks for the offer of help, but the dog's getting in the way as it is. Too many cooks and all that!

tigasin - You're right, it's all the shiny expensive stuff that's weighing down the boxes. Luck I'm in peak physical condition.

You Lebanese just have to buy somuch bling that's what makes moving a drag. You need to try a more minimalist approach. 

 

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
