There is a hell. I have not only been there, I have spent several hours there this afternoon. Hell - it's name is Ikea!

We do now, however, have most of the items required for turning one of the bedrooms into a walk-in closet so I guess I know what my first main DIY project is going to be this week. It should end up looking nice when it's all done and I'm looking forward to having a new project to tackle.

Here we are, now in South Wales as opposed to North Wales.

I think one of the main adjustments is going to be not being right on the coast - I'm going to miss being able to just amble down the road with the dogs and there's the beach. That's not to say that there's not still plenty of places to walk them. I'm looking forward to exploring this new area. There is a coast about 5 miles away, there's plenty of parks around

We're about as moved in as we're going to get right now. There's still some cosmetic stuff like new carpets and painting and decorating that need finalising but the important things have mostly found their homes. This place is definitely bigger than we needed for the three of us and there's honestly some space we're not quite sure what to do with yet.

I'd like to get a full home cinema installed, there's room for that which makes me pretty happy. We're thinking about making one of the rooms a 'library' - god knows between us we've got enough space and enough books and that's always been a dream of mine.
Those are my first two jobs I think.

Samantha's got her office set up. Lucy has 'her' bedroom set up - not that she ever sleeps in there, it's mostly just her own space. The girls are talking about making one of the bedrooms a walk-in closet. Our play room is set up. Like I said, the important things.

It'll be trial and error for a while as we settle and figure out what does/doesn't work but for now I'm looking forward to this house becoming our home.

Things are looking good for the house move. All the paperwork has completed, we've sold our house and we're still on track for moving into the new house on the 26th. I'm a little sick of living in boxtown and not being able to find anything - although we've all three had the chance to have a really good clear out. We're not down sizing but sometimes it's good to out with the old, in with the new.

I'm definitely looking forward to some decorating and gardening and putting our mark on the new place.

Speaking of things for moving, we've found Lucy a new therapist down there - recommended by her current one. We've met a few times and they seem to get on, and she seems LGBT and poly friendly so that's always a relief. Lucy's also got a yoga class sorted and is looking at the various support groups that are available to her. She's definitely stressed and struggling with her mental health but nowhere near as bad as I was dreading. I wish I could help her more. *sigh emoji*

Samantha's leg is healing well. She's got the cast off and now just has a very cumbersome plastic boot on the foot. Shes still walking on crutches and bitching about physios being evil sadistic bastards so I think she'll be just fine!

Tomorrow, incidentally, is my and Samantha's 13th wedding anniversary ♥
She's up to something. I know her well enough to know she's got something planned. She won't tell me. Neither will Lucy.

So yes. Things continue to tick over nicely in Casa Anderson which is always nice to be able to say. Now, we head to the local cinema to see The Dark Tower.

About Me

I'm Jack, a recent retiree looking for a new hobby. Apparently 'annoying my girlfriend' isn't the best use of my days. Her opinion, not mine

I'm a life-long science-fiction and superheroes fan, and a voracious reader. I enjoy movies, fishing, astronomy, and gardening.

I live in Wales with my wife, our girlfriend and an ever growing collection of four-legged friends.
