The very eventful weekend
You know, my life has been pretty routine lately, and I was feeling rather bored. But (luckily?) I just had a rather… eventful weekend.
Firstly, I moved to a new house on Saturday noon time. Yeah, it was full of packing (started packing on Friday actually), loading, moving, unloading, unpacking and all those fun activities. Yeah. Joy. But I’m quite happy with my new house. Big bedroom (big bed!), and a TV, what more could one ask for? *grins* Well, I could ask for it to be closer to the city center, but it’s still okay I guess. *grins again* And what’s the big deal with a TV anyway, you might ask. Well, although I managed to survive for a year and a half without a TV, having one is still nice…
And after unpacking my stuff and all, I still managed to attend a friend’s BBQ in the late afternoon. *grins* You know, just for a change of scenery and socializing and all that. I have to say, only in the UK can one experience BBQ-ing in the rain. Yeah, although it was drizzling, people were still sitting around chatting, drinking and eating. And there I was, in my raincoat, trying to act nonchalant too… *grins*
Anyway, although the bed is mighty fine, I still had trouble sleeping last night. I deduced that it was because of the (flat) pillows, and promptly went to buy a few today. *grins* Hopefully tonight will yield a better sleep…
