My good friend Mr. Dufty told me that change is always good. He can be right, but there is always so much work related with the kind of change, which came to our lives on the 25th of June.
On the 9th of August. Our house was all packed up and put into boxes and stabled meter high in the living room.
There was only a couple of small things left to do before the removal guys would come the next day.
Left in the kitchen were some small plates, some cutlery, a toaster and the water cooker. As I got out of the bed that morning, I found Catriona in the kitchen trying to boil some eggs for our breakfast in the water cooker.
I couldn’t stop giggling, but had to ask why she didn’t use the toaster so we could get fried eggs.
Later the same day, I had to go to the new address to met some folks from IKEA who was due to come to set up the bunch of things we’d bought.
The former occupant had moved out 4 days before and we’d been there to take over the keys and settle the lease contract with the agent and the owner. The house had been cleaned, but needless to say, I found some dirt along the wall where a cable hider had been mounted. The only thing I could find to clean that up was some antiseptic tissues I had in my bag and a paintbrush I found left in a plastic bag in the Japanese shed on the roof top, so I found myself on my knees on the floor, cleaning old dust away with that before the new furniture could be installed.
Later that evening we traveled to the Hong Kong Asia Arena and enjoyed the opening of The Red Hot Chili Peppers new world tour.
A great concert was the event that settled our last night in Tai Wan Village.
