Phew.
So. All our stuff is here. The ridiculously huge truck dropped off our shipment this morning, and some very obliging removal men wheeled all the furniture and boxes up to our apartment. Mum, LOML and I have spent all day unpacking - or, rather, starting to unpack, because The Great Unpacking of 2010 is going to take more than one day to complete. It is so much fun opening all the boxes and exclaiming at the things we've missed, or the things we forgot we owned (scarily large amount of the latter). There is also plenty of "What on earth did we bring that for?", as predicted. After an entire day of unpacking and organising, though, our reserves are somewhat depleted, and we're looking forward to an Italian dinner out and a plentiful amount of wine tonight.
