Moving!
Ahhh, yes, the time has come again for us to move. Mind you, this time
it's 8km from the small town out into the country a little ways instead of intercontinental :-) Since Dennis went back to work on Monday night, packing and moving is once again entirely up to me. What timing, LOL! Oh well, Dennis deserves a little holiday at work considering how hard he worked during his time off. He was here for 25 days as usual and out of that we were at the new house tiling for 23 days. Every single day, 10-12 hours/day. The house has no carpets or hardwood floors, tiles in every room and it's not a small house. About 2500 square feet, 250 square meters, if you include up the walls in the bathrooms. I was lucky to get 2 Thursdays off work so I could be out there helping Dennis tile more. I only had to go in to work on the weekends. Things definitely went faster when I did all the cutting and Dennis did all the laying. Anyway, back on topic for the NG, poor Vino was alone at home a lot during the days when we were so busy. He was definitely very cuddly at night to make up for it! We kept trying to re-assure him that it was all only temporary and would be more than worth it when the new house is all ready. Told him it would be his last and final move. So now I am packing. It's obvious that Vino's an old hand at it by now. He just finds himself a good spot with a view of what I'm doing and casually meatloafs and observes. He also likes to go into all the open cupboards and rummage around and he likes to preen on top of a large pile of bubble wrap. He has also claimed a very large and very stiff plastic bag that sits in the middle of the living room floor and stays open all the time due to it's stiffness. He goes in there and sniffs and rustles around, then makes himself comfortable and smugly observes out the front opening. I make sure to tell him often what a good boy he is and how much he's going to love the new house. And how he's *never* going to have to move again! For now the packing is going well. All is complete except for my computer area, some TV equipment and all the small dishes (did the big stuff already). I have a few problems though, before Dennis left we never had a chance to take apart our humungous king sized bed and now I can't even lift the mattress off it. All our friends are on vacation. I work in another town quite a ways away and can't get anyone to come and help me. Oh well, I won't worry about it now. I'm having a glass of terrible rose, not worth moving, might as well drink it. I'm working all weekend but will finish packing in the evenings. The movers are going to be here at 9 am on Monday. At $100/hr, I sure hope they are fast at dismantling my bed!!! Oh yeah, pics of the new house are he http://picasaweb.google.com/badwilson/House It's not quite complete yet at this stage but apparently it will be come Monday. I'll probably be without internet for a week starting Monday but will post when I'm back online. Sorry to be such and hit & run participant lately. Purrs for all who need them. -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow. Check out pictures of Vino at: http://picasaweb.google.com/badwilson |

Good luck with the move, hopefully the movers will make dismanteling the bed look easy. Looking forward to you getting back on line and hearing how Vino settles in to his new domain. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

you do so! Hugs, CatNipped "badwilson" wrote in message ... Ahhh, yes, the time has come again for us to move.

It looks beautiful, Britta. I'm so glad you are finally
where you want to be. No more moving around. Please give Vino extra cuddles from us. Keep that stiff plastic bag in the new house for him so he's not so spooked.
