Stupid internet!

It is really hard to live-blog when the internet drops out!

We went to collect the moving truck and when we came back, the internet had dropped as per many a Saturday morning/midday/afternoon when there are too many users for the poor country (huge, nation-wide, half of duopoly) to handle. Then, of course, they could not move the internet to the new place until Wednesday despite being contacted last Thursday.

So the move, in hindsight, went like this:

10am - picked up budget rental truck. Llew drove it to old house. I drove to new house with already packed car-load and meet Dad there after off-loading his car.

11:15 - Truck load and Llew and helper Adam arrive at new house. I leave new house back to old house.

12:00 - take third car-load to new house. Boys go back to old house.

12:15 - sit and look at the view for 5 minutes. Wow. Back to old house.

2pm - Dad has been back for 4th car-load and is back at old house. Both cars loaded, plus Adam's car and the truck. We have almost everything, and all we need for today. 3 cars, 1 truck, 6 people, 1 cat, and off we go.

2:30 - I waited at McDonalds drive-through for 15 minutes while they do this new thing that they are so proud of which is to only make the burgers when you order them. Yes, wanting 6 burgers and 6 fries is obviously too much for drive-through! (Sorry Alice, we succumbed to what we thought was fast food).

3pm- We are all sitting on the patio looking at the veiw, eating McDs and drinking beer. Job well done.
