Caliban - Opinion and Righteous Anger

We went to Media Markt yesterday and bought a Senseo coffee-maker, plus a trio of phones for the new house.

Today, I felt weak and had a bad headache all day. As a result, the pace of the day was excruciatingly slow.

This morning, I was up early to head over to the new house and let the cleaners in. Sarah had to go to her Dutch class in the afternoon, so I was literally left holding the baby as I walked around, supervising the cleaners and the electrician who had come along to tell us what would be required to make cable television available across the house.

Sarah's classmates from her Dutch class came along this evening for dinner, as today was the final lesson of her course. That was a great deal of fun and there are some colourful personalities amongst them.

Tomorrow, I'll be up even earlier to supervise the movers and the delivery and installation of our new washing-machine and dryer. It'll be very nice to be reunited with our stuff from Mountain View and actually have somewhere comfortable to sit down again.

I'm not sure how much actual unpacking we'll accomplish tomorrow, as we won't have much furniture in which to store things. One thing we will accomplish tomorrow, however, is spending our first night in our new house and new bed. That will be a welcome end to a very long day.
