Two Long Weekends. One Post.

Weekend of Moving

Saturday

• My parents arrive early and help pack the last of our junk - I mean possessions, attempt to calm me down, buy us coffee, have a quick squiz at the new place and dash off (well, when I say dash, they did hang around for about 4 hours).
• The Friendly Moving Men arrive. And they really were very friendly, and helpful. And rather 'strapping' young lads (*drool*).
• One flight of stairs down, two flights up.
  
• 4 1/2 hours later our old place is practically empty and our new place is populated by boxes.
• We decide a Transformers movie marathon coupled with beer and pizza on the couch are in order.
• We receive our very first noise complaint. At 9:30pm. On a Saturday night. Apparently, even though we are on the top floor, playing our movies that loudly was like 'living on top of a volcano'. Go figure. We haven't heard from them since.
  

Sunday

• Unpacking.
  

Monday

• Went round to the old place to let the cleaners in only to discover that the housemate who should have been out of there on Sunday was only just starting to remove his belongings as we walked in the door.
• Very angry Aesophia shucked her lovely outfit and gorgeous hair (we had intended to let the cleaners in and then head out to breakfast) and helped move the housemate's junk downstairs.
  
• A very sweaty Aesophia finally gets the relaxed breakfast she was originally after.
• JB HiFi for some things we needed. We also walked out with things we didn't really need as well (5 new CDs for me!)
• Hardware store for those handy wall hook things by 3M - the best thing invented for renters EVER.
• More unpacking.
  

Weekend of Easter

Friday

• Slept in.
• Did mostly nothing.
• Oh, and dishes.
  

Saturday

• Went to the Prahran Market to shop for guests coming over on Sunday and had some gloriously different coffee.
• Unpacked shopping and watched Roju play God of War 3 (awesome awesome game - and I got to brush up on my Greek Mythology).
• Went bouldering (that's like rock climbing across instead of up and without the ropes) at Burnley with a friend who then came back home and we played Rock Band until the wee hours.
  

Sunday

• Even though daylight savings gave us another hour we only got up with an hour to spare before my sister and her boyfriend showed up for lunch.
• By the time they left we had enough time to clear up after them, do a few dishes and then relax on the couch for about half an hour before
• Our guests arrived for dinner and more geekiness. Yay!
  

Monday

• Did mostly nothing.
• Oh, and went to the supermarket.
• Watched some Scrubs.

All in all

• After moving house the Easter long weekend was the BEST break ever. Haven't got much to show for it, but loved it nonetheless :)
