Well, we moved house over the weekend.
 
As much as I’d like to go into a detailed blow by blow account of the whole experience with amusing photos, the fact is that our belongings are spread between two houses so it's just not possible. My PC is now at Aldinga, which presents an impediment to blogging for two reasons, firstly because I am still based at Magill until later this week, and secondly because the good people at Telstra haven’t got around to connecting the phone so I can’t access the net from down there anyway. I actually rang Telstra foolishly thinking that in this high tech age that I would be able to get the phone and ADSL connected all at once, but that is another story.
 
So here I am at work late in the afternoon,  and here are some random observations about moving house
 

1. Cut Price Truck Rentals in Adelaide should be called Cut Corners. Or more specifically in my case, don't cut corners if you don't want to knock the wing mirrors off of our trucks.
2. When you have been eating take away all week whilst packing a house, a nice home cooked stew is something to behold (Thanks Lea and Jon).
3. Good friends (and family) are people who will help you move house. Great friends are ones that will help you even if you are only moving house in a greedy attempt to make money. You all know who you are - and we thank you and will reward you with a big Aldinga housewarming in October.
4. When you bite off more than you can chew in your life, there's no one that can bail you out and put in grunt work to help you finish projects quite like your parents. As if Karen and I don't owe our parents for enough, this experience has depened our debt significantly to them significantly. We also don't have enough thanks for you.
