Well, not literally. I didn't put the chair in a box, that would be silly. 
But I'm all packed up, saving the last few dishes, for which I don't yet have a suitable box. 
I truly hope my helpers tomorrow show up - one was supposed to come today already and didn't, and one has sprained her foot - and that we find a place to park. I've been 
ing, waiting for the cars in front of the house to drive away so I could put a chair with a sign there, but so far, they've been uncooperative 
Nothing against Yarreau et al, of course (
) but I'd be looking forward to this more if I were actually moving somewhere new rather than just away from somewhere 
And yet...
Goodbye, loud annoying neighbour who always plays the same song! Goodbye, kindergarten teacher in the courtyard shouting after children with your shrill voice at the crack of noon! Goodbye, constant rain! Goodbye, unheatable bedroom! Goodbye, complicated shower that barely works at the best of times! Goodbye, crowds! Goodbye, handy supermarket and greengrocer! Goodbye, Folk jam session, decent libraries, and juggling club in walking distance. Goodbye *everything* in walking distance... Good- oh, drat, I forgot what I was getting at. 
At least you lot will all stay constant 
Country life, here I come!

Lucky you stopped when you did - you almost started saying nice things about Wuppertal! 
Will it be goodbye to "hal-loooooooooo" too, or do they speak that way where Yarreau lives too?
Good luck with the workforce turning up!

Yarreau Posted Mar 29, 2009
Part of the workforce - the part with the moving van - WILL turn up tomorrow, I'll give them breakfast and send them on their way at an ungodly hour...
If it all gets too much, just think of four 
and one smallish bouncy 
who will be soo happy to have you to themselves for a while...
You will be around this time when all the berries are ripe! 
And you'll get to join our choir for a while! No, not THAT one 
- the other one!

Ah yes, just me, the small(ish) dog and your berry bushes 
Since I must be up at an ungodly hour myself, I'm off to bed. At least I won't have to wait six weeks for an internet connection this time!
So see you all on the other side. Especially Yarreau, whom I'll now get to bother in person

Goodbye *waves hanky*
strange not having you at the other end of our train connection... even though I hardly ever came to visit!
Sitting on packed boxes
Godspeed.
...and be a good girl not pestering Yarreau for eternal ages...
longing for the day when ALL the hatchlings FINALLY will move ALL their stuff, change their official address and stop moving in and out...

So can I move in with you next, DQ?
Sho - there's still a train connection, just a longer one. 
Thanks for the helpful wishes, all 
(Just having my 
and waiting for the helpers to arrive.)

Well, one hatchling/relative/boarder more or less... but you must realise I'm not a morning person so there is no idea talking to me before

All the best with the housemove, Mala, with those boxes

The latest update says they're still at it, trying to fit everything into the van, but we'll have to drive down there again tomorrow and fill up our minivan, too...
