“Moving is a hassle”
-
Because I really haven’t had enough to do recently, this week I started complaining about things, specifically that the brand new Nike shoes I bought squeak to an extremely annoying degree. Is this a defect in my gait or in the manufacturing?
To my surprise they refunded me. WIN.

Mammoth is really good fun. Give it a go, there are only three episodes.
-
I was let down by two different tradespeople on the same day. A new, but unsurprising, record.

All about
that bassmoving this week. We massively underestimated just how much work loading the van we hired would be. And I over packed many of the boxes which means I’m now a) knackered, and b) the owner of bruised arms.We arrived late at the house, and just managed to empty the van before it got completely dark, with the smell of chocolate lingering on the air. We met some of our new neighbours whilst sweaty and swearing at a sofa. They helped us get it in the house – good sorts it seems.
The fridge we bought doesn’t fit in the gap available, even though I measured it. So that’s good and I’m completely fine about it.
I also forgot to bring any tools with me which meant we couldn’t install the new washing machine either. This. Is. Fine.
No sooner had we arrived than we had to leave again to drop the van back to whence it came. I was sad going back to the flat. The new place is not yet home, but neither in the old place now. It’s not going away, but it is changing, but so am I, and hopefully for the better

I had a cracking sandwich on Saturday though, so it’s not all bad.
-
So far, my new Internet seems to be working. Yodel decided to hang on to the router sent from the ISP for 5 days. No real reason, just zero attempts to deliver. Yodel gonna Yodel I suppose. Still, the WiFi signal seems like it’s going to be decent enough for now until I can get more organised.

Moving has really brought to light all the things I that order off Kickstarter and receive two years later 😆 I’m expecting a parcel soon, apparently.
-
We finished Fallout and it has been renewed for second series. Looking forward to it.

If being excited about an easily accessible Amazon Locker near my house is wrong then I don’t wanna be right
