I would hate to be the one opening the door
I write this post as I sit at my very own kitchen table and I couldn't be happier. How nice it feels to be surrounded by all our worldly goods. We arrived at the apartment on Saturday morning and were very happy to see the truck waiting there for us. It was touch and go, with the tree being removed the day before, and no there was no chainsaw just two men sitting on the ground with the most antiquated saw I have seen, sawing away, it took them hours.
It was amazing to see these 6 quite small men lifting and carrying all the boxes up 2 flights of stairs. We had a couple of casualties one of the dinning room chairs was broken, my salon mirror smashed, one of my favorite noodle bowls broken and no Pandora bracelet. Oh well I will look forward to seeing it in 2 years time. Not much at all I can do.
Even the kids got to work unpacking
The very hard working men
Have you ever seen such a happy bunch. Maybe this shot was taken before they got their tip.
I finally finished unpacking all the boxes on Tuesday, it was a huge job. I now look forward to sitting down and doing some scrapping, that is if I can keep Mac occupied.
Our housekeeper Margaret has started and she is a God send. Boy can she work hard. She is even doing some of the cooking which she really enjoys. I think I will want to take her home.
The lovely Margaret, always smiling and happy.

Amen! Thank you Indian government departments for finally getting the Purdy's possessions to them! How exciting it must have been opening the boxes. A little bit of Thomas Rd now at Flat Number One!
