I have moved!

[supermouse]

I'm in the new house right now, in bed with the first hot water bottle of the winter by my feet, and Radio 4 discussing Egypt. Hatter (the grey-and-white nearly-a-kitten) is exploring the room. Spice, the bushy cinnamon-and-chocolate-coloured torbie, is downstairs as far as I can tell. Pol's in the living room huddling over what little bandwidth there is, as we're sharing a 3G card for the next three weeks.

I made the mistake of trying to load xkcd, which is normally a polite, tiny little 3-square comic. But tonight, when I am trying out the lack-of-bandwidth, it's a mega-huge image of bigness. I got from the comments that it's something to do with money, but I had to stop downloading it when Pol complained that I'd eaten ALL the internet. First world problems.

We're going to have to get the plumbing in my ensuite (ensuite! again!) bathroom, because something in the cistern makes it whistle like someone calling a dog back from a long way away, and then rattle the pipes as though trying to get out. Tonight will be... long. I expect by the time we're moved in enough to get it fixed, I'll be used to it.

The weather continues, thankfully, damp and cool. Not snowy and frozen, which would have made the whole move three times as difficult. When we moved into Geekhouse North, it was during a cold and very snowy snap, and Pol was run absolutely ragged trying to take everything across in the landrover and unload it in darkness, frost and snow. This time, while it's a bit soggy out most days, the weather has been fairly kind. Random has been run absolutely ragged, and Pol wants to hide away for three days to calm down again. I'm fairly okay, as long as I work to make sure this room is liveable asap.

I'm looking forward to putting things away and finding out where everything is. Got to go, Spice wants a cuddle.

I missed the reason why you were moving and where to - but it sounds as if everything is progressing well. I wish you dry and sunny days.

At this time of the year, 'dry and sunny' means 'cold and frosty', and probably the first snow of the season at the old place (in the Pennines) so now it's so late on and the frosts have started, I'm hoping for cool, wet fugginess, at least for the next few days. However, after that, dry and sunny would be nice!
