Life update
Sep. 8th, 2014 01:35 pmWe've been more or less occupied with househunting, both emotionally and practically, for most of 2014. It suddenly all ramped up mid-August and we ended up exchanging contracts at almost no notice and then completing 27th. We weren't able to arrange the move quite so precipitously, so ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jack has carried on living in his rented flat for a couple of weeks, with moving day scheduled for Wednesday.
( holiday )
And then back to work for just a few days before the move, the second half of last week on campus and the first half of this week WFH atjack's place, giving us the weekend in between to sort everything out. I know moving is supposed to be stressful, but we've actually done really well this weekend, we got just about everything sorted and ready to go and even managed to find time to socialize at a BBQ chez ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sonicdrift and mobbsy. I've always felt like jack and I work well together as a team, and I think we're getting better at it with more experience.
I find it hard to believe we're actually moving in on Wednesday; getting a house together has been just over the horizon for so long. I am excited we will finally have our place to arrange as we feel like, but it's also quite daunting! Sorting out storage for all our stuff is going to be an ongoing challenge, I think. Anyway, once we're settled we will have both more free time (hopefully) and a better space for hosting, so I look forward to inviting lots of people round.
Oh, and lots of people are doing the meme of listing ten books that stay with you or that have influenced you or something. I thought I'd done this before and it turns out that yes I have, but nearly ten years ago! I think about three quarters of what I was going to list are still the same as the ones I put down back in 2005.
