The Little Big Fella and I got home on Friday afternoon to discover that half of the house was downstairs! The Big Fella had gotten enthusiastic and moved half the couch, the bookshelf from the Little Big Fella's room, all the furniture sitting in the office, our dinig buffet, and a few other random bits and pieces.
It finally felt like we were on the move!
Unfortunately he ran out of steam before cleaning up the mess he'd made along the way 😀
But we're now at the end of Sunday night and we've completely finished one room, including window, walls, and vacuuming the floor.
The beds have been packed down, the bedside tables emptied, and the disgusting fluffy mess in the corners behind them vacuumed away! And the Big Fella took all the foil off our bedroom window and cleaned it (the foil was to blackout the room so he can attempt to sleep during the day when he has night shift).
Our living area is still a big jumbled mess, and I haven't even started on the kitchen! Thank goodness it's a long weekend!
So tomorrow has the delightful task of being kitchen day! A few boxes to pack and shelves to clean, but then we're nearly there! It's so close I can smell the chlorine from our new pool!
-----------------------------------------
On a side note, tonight was the footy (rugby league) grand final. Two teams from our state fought for the title and it was an absolute nail-biter! The Broncos were in front from just before half time, then no one scored (despite several close attempts by the Cowboys) in the second half. Then almost literally on the full time siren, the Cowboys got a try (like a touch down for those who watch American football). They'd tied the score!
In rugby league, when your team scores a try you have the opportunity to kick at the goals. The captain of the Cowboys took a while to set himself up, then took the kick. He kicked and it was bending back to go through the goals but hit the post and bounced back into the field!
So being the grand final, the teams went into golden time. The Broncos made a mistake and the Cowboys had the opportunity to kick at the goals, but kept getting surrounded by the Broncos so they didn't have enough room to take the kick.
After a couple of attempts, the Cowboys captain finally got enough space and the kick went through! The Cowboys won!
I'm not normally much of a footy fan, but that was an amazing game! And the area the Cowboys are based is in a really bad drought at the moment, so to have something to celebrate is more than special!
I hope you all have a wonderful week and that there's something to brighten your days.
I'm with you, don't watch football, but those final seconds were something out of a movie. Couldn't look away.
ReplyDeleteBig job moving, but at the end of it you get a nice reward. Nice to be moving to a place with a pool - especially in a Qld summer!
