Saturday night means pick & mix sweets 😋
Day-to-Day

On the radio, they said the best part of a world cup is just before a single ball has been kicked and anything is still possible. Hopefully including Belgium winning, as I got them in the office sweepstake!

I just realised I’ve moved to a different hemisphere! I’ve gone all the way from 0.054° W to 0.001° E, about 60 metres across the Prime Meridian!

I’d forgotten quite how old old-style banks are. A standing order can’t go out on the weekend? Does a clerk need to print it out, take it to the accounts department, and hand it to another clerk? 🤨
My new commute
This is my first commute by public transport in eight years. It takes just under 40 minutes door to door but I’m no longer getting my 10K steps per day.

Why are the doors inside UK flats self-closing, so you need to bend down and remove a doorstop whenever you actually want to close the door? 🤔

Note to self: Remember to go to the new flat, not the old one, after work tonight.
Moving day
Bye bye, home 😢
Moving out
I always find it sad to move out of a place, no matter where I’m moving to, and this place has been the place I call home for much longer than I could have ever imagined when I moved in in April 2014.
Flat 7 has been a nice little place, and I’ve particularly enjoyed how easy it’s been not to buy a lot of stuff when living here. It just wouldn’t fit!
All good things come to an end, and we’ve realised it is time for a bit more space. Getting up at different times or both of us working from home hasn’t been easy when there’s no separate room and no doors.
On Wednesday, we’re moving into a temporary flat until we can get our new home. Hopefully, it shouldn’t be too long now!
