Moving day: well, the UK part at least

The movers came bright and early this morning... It was nice to sit on the couch and watch. The only one who didn't enjoy it was Candy; she spent the time in her pet carrier. We put her out on the landing to get some air.

After 2 years in the UK, we thought that we had mastered the art of understanding English, no matter how strong the British accent. Meet our movers this morning. I'm not sure where they were from, but it sounded like "umjht jkj oieij jkjnkjkj atsjnij sea freight kjor ekjkj air freight mjkoke Arsenal kwjepokk kje football"

That's not a BBQ grill. It's a cat in a pet carrier on our window landing.

Ohhh.. this was funny. Our landlord is selling the flat. The estate agent thought it would be a good idea to send out the inspector on the same day as our move. He had some surprise when he turned up.

Love the power of moving. That's right. Parking suspended in front of our flat. Reason: The Nori's are moving (actually it says "John Mason Removal" (the moving company) but you get the point.)
