It's bleak up north
Saturday, February 12th, 2005 02:09 pmThanks to
wallabok, the final move has been made. I should just like to thank everybody who helped, or volunteered help but who weren't in the event called upon (specifically in the latter category,
delvy and
ashenkat). I do appreciate it.
The only glum side of the move is that I have lost my half-sovereign ring Mum and Dad bought me for my 21st birthday. The redoubtable Mrs Z has said that she will look out for it, and I'll be going back down to Clapham next weekend to settle up a few bills and things, look into
romney's flat and possibly even meet up with
drjohnsilence for a pint, as he may be over on a whistle-stop from the US. Hopefully it will have turned up by then.
Well, it didn't take long for me to get back to a keyboard, did it?
Admittedly this is DT's machine, mine being in several pieces in the other room, but hey, I'm on-line part time at least. I think I might reassemble my old banger in the living room where I can plug the modem into the phone socket while I await that glorious day that is broadband.
I have, I suppose, much unpacking to do today - not that I have anywhere to put anything for the time being, so a great deal of stuff will stay in boxes for the near future. This is a dismal prospect, but hey ho, what to do?
I see that it is raining like good 'un outside, so I managed to get here just in time. I was going to nip out to Waitrose across the street, and purchase some victuals, but I might hold off and see if it stops raining.
Later, chaps.
