After nearly 2 weeks back
in the UK we’re starting to feel more normal. We’re also
feeling more like we want to get to our new flat in Paisley
fairly quickly, even though we know that that’s going to
be a huge mess for a while (over 100 boxes of stuff going
into a 2 bedroom flat, and not all of them labelled properly… hmmm!).
What a stroke of genius it was to come and stay with Varya’s
mum for 2 weeks though (must have been Varya’s idea).
It’s been the perfect buffer between the stress of
leaving the Czech Republic, and the stress of moving into
a new place. We’ve had the chance to get used to driving
on t’other side
of the road, shopping, TV, seeing family again, without having
to face all the hassles of looking after ourselves fully.
Varya’s mum has spoiled us completely.
Today we spotted a Skoda Octavia for sale near Glasgow,
only £2100. It’s almost identical to Oskar who we sold in
the Czech Republic, except a lot more mileage and a LOT cheaper!
Roll on next week when we can go and buy it…
Benji was out with Gran today, charming the birds off the
trees. In the train to Birmingham, he amazed the people in
the seats around him, coming out with “Gran
Mac, I assume that the train is going faster than the clouds?”.
He’s only 4 and a half. What a guy. And he beat all of us
at Ludo during the weekend.
Last but not least, Varya and I got UK telephone numbers
for our mobile phones today. See our contact page
for the new numbers. |
