We're in

Kind of. We've spent two nights under our new roof, have got broadband up and running, and we've even walked over to our local supermarket -- Waitrose! (For non-UK readers, Waitrose is the most upmarket supermarket chain in the UK. Everything is lovely but expensive.) We strolled across the M3, down through the expensive end of Chandler's Ford and into Waitrose, loaded up our rucksacks, and stopped off for a swift pint at the King Rufus on the way back. It's a pleasant 25 minute stroll each way, beer not included. On the bikes, probably 10 minutes, tops. Hurrah!

Today, though, we were white van man incarnate. We picked up our gleaming white Ford Transit, PJ maneouevered it expertly through the streets of Winchester, and we loaded it up with our "big" pieces of furniture. We still have a few carloads of "stuff" left (and most of our clothes), and then the excitement of yet another trip to Homebase and a trip to the dump. Guess which one I'm looking forward to most?
