Moving on ... just boxes ?

So it comes down to this - a living room full of boxes. 305 of them to be precise.

Saturday:  The boxes all loaded into the container. Nicole had been preparing for a good month - so it was no surprise that it ran like clock work from start (Tuesday) to finish , Saturday.   And Nic reckons I'm a control freak ? sheesh.    The moving Co crew leader Naz, was on top of everything else, a good bunch of guys and it all went smoothly.

We managed a nice dinner at Jumbo Seafood last night with old friends from New York, Paul & Ellen Johnson, and their great kids Julie, Kurt and Katerina.    Pepper crab, S&P prawns, whole fish ......

Sunday: This afternoon there is some sense of relief.  We were just at the house to do last minute clean-up, and double check everything before the handover to the landlord on Tuesday afternoon. "Home" now - we are in a serviced apartment for a week and have been down to the pool for a swim.  Our friendly local butcher who we have supported over the last four years has offered to cook us a roast this evening which we accepted and will collect at 6pm, followed by a quiet glass of vino and early to bed I suspect !




And then it was over ......  
looking forward to seeing the container in Hong Kong with contents intact!
