Its been 6 months.. time we moved. (Part 1)

Thursday... I get home to the piles of neatly and not so neatly piled boxes, over the past week or so Nic has been hard at work getting sorted,  how lucky am i that i married a Gypo who is now so well practiced in the art of moving that it generally goes without any problem, well certainly that we can control. The train falling off the tracks on the way to perth and assorted other mishaps are not our fault.

Friday ... i was booked to meet the agent at 1.15 to collect the keys, of course work here has no allowance for lateness or doing personall business on work time, so it had to be timed to perfection to get there.. (15 mins)...sign, collect keys (20 mins)..and get back to work (15 mins) total 50 minutes allow 10 mins for walking to and from the car park... military precision required.

I leave work at 1pm... arrive car park 1.04... out of car park 1.06... driving.. 1.10...all going well until... traffic jam... i dont move for 10 minutes...1.20...well thats it...  i now cannot make it, Call to nic ..re-arrange time for tomorrow morning..attempt to get back to work... avoid traffic jam.. get slightly lost, back to work at 1.50pm. Sigh..gotta love englands traffic.
