We move house two weeks today. Not a single thing has been packed. Actually I did bubble wrap a couple of paintings a few weeks ago but that's pretty much it.
As we're at T-14 days it would perhaps be sensible to spend the coming week creating order where there will soon be chaos. Or we could head to the Cotswolds with a spring in our step and a two-finger salute at our house as we drive away.
Obviously we chose the latter and here I sit looking out over a lake playing DJ on the iPad and looking forward to reading a book with actual pages. We’ve already taken a dip in the heated outdoor pool, played Top Trumps and Tic-Tac-Toe. That’s more uninterrupted leisure time than I’ve managed in the whole of this year so far.
Even though I know when I get home the panic may well set in, I’ve mastered the art of getting things done in the time available and know full well that you fill the time you have. Better to fill my time here than at home surrounded by boxes.*
*Actually we have a removal company coming in to pack for us. What? It will take a lot of directing!
