We moved last week from a house we have lived in for 28 years. Our children grew up there and the place was shrouded in memories. We now have another house to make into a home.
Last week has to be one of the busiest I have known for a long time. Packing and moving then unpacking boxes, trying to find where we had put things and taking care of the cats who were not best pleased with the arrangements.
Now things are becoming straighter, much to the relief of my mild OCD! The house feels like ours now our stuff has been arranged and calm has settled over the cats who are waiting to be introduced to the lovely gardens and surrounding fields. That will be an adventure for them this weekend as they would have stayed in for the required amount of days as recommended by the vets.
My writing appetite is returning. My head has been so full of organising and moving of late that writing the next chapter of my book has been impossible. The Easter deadline is no longer a possibility, so the publisher will have to make do with a revised date for the completed final part of The Torc Trilogy.
In the aftermath of uprooting everything I can honestly say that we have made the right choice. Our house if great, snuggled between the folds of green fields and now village life for us has become a reality.
Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your new home. It sounds as if you are settling in and trying to get back into a 'normal' routine whatever that is ;)
I hope your cats settle in as well and you get back to your writing soon. I know you will be happier once you do!
Hello Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. You are right, once I have sorted out my study and am writing again I'll be a happier chap. :-)
It’s good that you managed to get everything straightened out quickly, despite the displeasure of your cats. Haha! That being said, I hope you were able to settle in soon after, and finish your book on time. Good day!

Hello June,
ReplyDeleteIt was a stressful time especially for the cats. They are settled in now and loving the countryside.
I missed my deadline but have a new one of October, that is looking dodgy now as I am distracted by the lovely location in which I now live. Work is also getting in the way.
Note to self; give up the day job!
