DeleteNo mention of bunting or brass band, but presume these were also in attendance for that first dump.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid when we moved, which we did frequently, it was always at midnight and Father always told us to keep very, very quiet as he pushed his car off the drive before starting it.
DeleteHurrrahhhh STOP Enjoy STOP

ReplyDeleteA cup of tea in the morning, breakfast, Elevenses, lunch, tea at three, high tea, supper and then dinner. What kind of mill owning slave driver are you?
DeleteCause for celebration. Ah, you have already. Can't wait to see the piccies of new home but not of anything "personally passed". Congrats. Now put your feet up for a fag, stiff drink and relax.
ReplyDeleteI actually allowed a damn near full glass of scotch to slip from nerveless fingers as I fell asleep on the sofá.
DeleteKer-rikey .... no wonder you have a stiff drink of an evening.....you have had things and situations to cope with that would make a girl like me throw a bit of a wobbler...no hot shower for 2 years?? and no flushing toilet??? you and the family are obviously made of stern stuff....enjoy your new living arrangements! cheers.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, I hope we will!
DeleteWooohoooo, nothing like to sound of a working, flushing toilet. On a very different scale - I remember as a kid when we migrated from Rhodesia (showing my age) to NZ. One day my father snapped all the plastic knives and forks we were using. I was horrified - what will we eat with...
ReplyDeleteThe container of our "junk" arrived after what seemed like an eternity. I think the general condition of that stuff was similar to yours.
Stop working Stop. We need another post.
