Ta da!

I opened my email and read this:

"Is now a good time to arrange to schedule an agreeable date for a meeting update?" - Wow. I have no words.

Liz and I have moved! Interesting things happened, including:

- Being locked inside the house and not being able to get out. Had to call the landlord for help. While we were waiting, there was a policeman knocking on all the doors in the neighbourhood asking for information on stuff. I had to talk to him through the front window. XD

- Mad panic when removals arrived an hour earlier than expected.

- Swedish flat-pack furniture hell aka IKEA plus lots of putting together furniture (IT'S LIKE GIANT LEGO \o/). We didn't get anything from the UNNI range as the designs are a bit too colourful for our tastes. But Liz did get to stand on an UNNI!

- Estate agent of the old place not turning up to collect the keys.

- Using the mobile to go on Yellow Pages to find food delivery because we were both too exhausted to go out for food.

Etc, etc. But we're in! Tezmobile is also settling in well with the help of a Feliway diffuser. Internet will be up and running in a week's time.

There are still a million things I need to do, on top of catching up with work. And I think I've caught a cold. So. Yeah. Won't be online-active for a while yet.

(Oh, yeah. Didn't get to see any of the US Open matches, but gutted about Rafa, and happy for Roger. :D)

Does Feliway really work?!

Dear goddess, it seems like you're having one hell of a week.

It works for the Tezmobile! She'd been jumpy and OMG OMG for a few days, but ever since I plugged the Feliway in she has been much calmer and happier. I have heard that results vary somewhat between cats, though.

I was just curious, Vanda's bringing some for me though.

Have I mentioned how much I love having a cat, Hecate should have shown up years ago, she's so damn irresistible even my mother (who hates cats) loves her!!!!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Some cats are really good at making people love them!

[eolo.livejournal.com]

I think it's one of her many talents. :D

<3! Nice to hear from you.

I heard myself use the words "more further than" in a meeting yesterday. It caused minor amusement when I then asked myself out loud if I had ever had an education.

At least you're in!

I won't touch any flatpack furniture which requires more than an Allen screw for assembly. My one Ikea experience was a bad one.

I was pleased for Murray (hooray for Scottish ancestry!) and ambivalent about Roger.

The lady I got that particular email from types and speaks the same way! She's also always keen to look for additional hoops to jump through for everything she does. Clearly it's a necessary talent for working in TfL. Sigh.

We are! Neither of us has a wardrobe yet (couldn't get it at Ikea) but hopefully everything else can be built/stored/displayed within the next few days.

I really don't mind building furniture, as long as I have all the bits and tools necesary. It does help that my ex left his electric screwdriver set with me...

I don't know much about Murray these days, really, but the initial impression from 2 or 3 years ago weren't good at all - he didn't seem to have any sportsmanship to me, back then. Roger had totally stolen my heart since our visit to Wimbledon 2 years ago and he waved at us when we were going down some steps and he appeared on the walkway with the glass wall nearby! And his reaction during his win at the Olympics doubles made me go awwwwwwww. Hopefully he'll rebound to world no.1 soon, or at least regain that great rivalry with Nadal!

[semishade (from livejournal.com)]

Roger's Olympic response made me go *____*. I suspect a lot of his poor form this year has been down to glandular fever - I had that as a student and was literally unable to lift a punt pole out of the river for the whole summer!

Murray reminds me of my brother, but with more social skills! I admire his drive and self-honesty but standing next to Nadal and Federer he just looks like a different breed of human. Was saying to Bast recently that I could easily imagine him in a kilt and woad (waving an axe as he charged down from the highlands to slaughter the English).

Playing with lego is training for putting furniture together! :DDD

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

YES :D

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

OH HAI PEZ

I love IKEA. Playtime for grownups.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

OH HAI.

I don't mind it if I didn't have to get all the heavy packets off the shelves and transport them home. XD;

[haruyuki.livejournal.com]

Oh, Roger...so happy he's back. ♥ Though I've loved the slightly more emotional side he's showed in the last couple of months.

Glad that the worst of moving seems to be over for you, at least? :P

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yes~! It's good to see some ups and downs!

Yeah, thank god for that!

[themirtle.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say: congratulations on the move! Hope you are feeling better by now.
And while reading your post/comments I couldnt but wonder how IKEA unites people of the world! Travel through countries and you can find a person with same IKEA experinece anywhere ))))
