Early Sunday mulling....

caddymanWeekends really don't produce anything of note to write about these days.
I think it's largely down to the fact that with the exception of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
romney, everyone I used to know in the area has moved away over the past couple or three years. So if nothing else, a move may well be beneficial. Having said that, I don't know anyone in Totteridge either, apart from DT sans LJ. Speaking of whom, I am meeting him later today to discuss the minutiae if the move.
Such sordid topics as rent; that sort of thing.
Meanwhile, I have yet to start thinking about clearing rubbish from the garret, other than in the most unfocussed and inactive of ways. I do not know what to do with the video collection. To be honest I doubt whether most of them will ever get watched again, but I don't want to just throw them away. I thought about ebaying stuff, but Mrs Z's timing is exquisite. I lose a great deal of time over Christmas and the New Year, and expect to be busy packing and ejecting stuff in January. That means that realistically the damned stuff will end up traveling with me, although there's no reason why I couldn't ebay it all after the move. No reason except intrinsic inertia, of course.
romney has offered to store some stuff for me temporarily, for which offer I am grateful and will probably take advantage.
My biggest headache will be transport, I guess. I can drive, but haven't done so in the twenty years since I moved to London, and not only was it a long time ago, but Shropshire and the West Midlands is a far different driving environment that London and the South East.
Hire a man in a white van, I guess. More expense. Ho hum.
In the meantime, I have caught another mouse, and laid some fresh glue traps.
I shan't be sorry to see the back of those little bastards.
