so priest was disappointed that my post above was a little lacky
Hm well, where to start though.
Friday morning around 8 the moving guys turned up. They were only 2 guys instead of the 3 we ordered, which I pointed out to them could be a problem, because the new apartment is on 4th og 5th floor. We agreed they called two other guys when they got to the new place, to help with the most heaviest stuff.
They were around 8 hours about the moving which was a LOT more than I thought. Both Peter and I were baffled that we could have SO much crap in my apartment. OH well - around 40 moving boxes I guess - even though we already did carrie over 24 boxes. Yes, I have a tiny FIAT 500 - and I can storage 8 moving boxes in it ... and yes, people stared!
In the aftern00n our new furnitures from IKEA came. Poor guys. They carried up 900 kg. to the 4th floor. Don't worrie - we tipped both the moving guys and the IKEA guys well. The moving guys even said they were very positively surpriced about moving for us, since we were great to help, gave them some sandwiches and water/soda etc. Normally, obviously, people just sit on chairs and dictate them ... I'm amazed! Unfortunately we also got the glas doors for the wardrobe including the extra section we didn't need. Saturday we therefor had to go back to IKEA.
Actually we asked my ex (and Amandas dad), if we could borrow his car and the trailer (well, only fair considdering I got the FIAT 500 instead of that when I divorced him) - and that wasnt a problem untill we realized, that 100kg boxes with a lenght of 236cm would never fit in the trailer (nor could we lift them even with an elephants will). On top of that it rained cats and dogs - so we ended up with calling some new moving guys Saturday to help us out with getting the stuff back to IKEA!
Of course we bought new stuff there ... again ... including some awesome dark-brownish curtains. And no, we did not measure the lenght of the windows first and yes, we did have to go back to IKEA Monday to exchange them ... sighs! I hated IKEA before ... no, I REALLY hate IKEA!
Saturday we managed to put together the huge book shelf. Damn, it looks so good. I'm quite amazed, that I finaly found a bf who has more books than I have. Not that my ex's could not read... but mostly the most exciting reading material was what was back on the toothpaste ... ! Also Peter got so many awesome looking books (AND exciting .. now I just need to brush up my English skills, so I can sneak read them).
Also the 3 sections of the wardrobe was put together in the beginning of the week. My Lootius they are HUGE! I took pictures of Peter standing in one of them with his arms all stretched to the sides. They are each 1 meter x 236 cm high. I REALLY look like a hobbit in them! (well, I am, which means Peter got the shelfs at the top
).
Our office is finished aswell. It's totally COOL, GREAT, AWESOME, FANTASTIC and I bought new speakers for the pc which makes my
EU experience just a little bit better *G*. Seriously, that office is one of the best things with that apartment.
We got the Da Vinci cloth up hanging at the stairs and it's just perfect there.
Only real thing we need now is Amandas room. She will come home tomorrow - and it's gonna be fun to see her reaction. She did see the apartment before, but not after we moved. I hope she likes her new room. Also I made a very cosy corner for her in the living room, with her desk, drawing table, her horse and her book shelf - and I hope she will love to play there.
We are pondering getting Parrot Bobby Joe Marley (yup, that's his name) a female. He is flirting with all of us, my hair particially, and since we are both working, he is alone all day. Which is not good concerning he is a love bird.
This weekend we will finish up the last things and relax. Saturday it is Sankt Hans evening - which means we fire of Witches (not real witches but dolls of witches
) on huge fires around the country. It is usally a very cosy tradition, if it's not raining that is. And mostly it is raining. If it doesn't rain, we will pack a basket with some sandwiches and wine/soda and go to a park near by to look and celebrate Sankt Hans!
Friday next week we go back to Holland for a quick visit. Friday evening we pull off a small party at Peters place to say bye to his friends. Well, not "bye" but mostly "cya in Copenhagen"
Sunday we will go for the concert with Genesis. And we head back home early early EARLY Monday morning! Luckily I took the day off Tuesday aswell!
The internet connection was a bitch, but is luckily now up running. It turned out that my pc was a n00b so we hooked up Peters pc instead and I connect to the wireless! Piece of cake .. after sitting all in all 2 1/2 hour to get through to the internet providers support department
OH well.. luckily Peter is not a n00b (well, I'm not a n00b either - my PC is, remember?).
And no worries. I post pictures later on when I take some more
OH not to forget
EU .. got a tiny global yesterday ... and that's basicly it!
Have fun, Lootius bless and Happy hofing
