making a start

No exploring this weekend, unless you count the back of a cupboard - the packing process has begun. As usual we have managed to accumulate 'stuff'. At least moving so regularly these last few years means we are continually getting rid of 'stuff' too. We can take back whatever we can fit in two cars and in the suitcase that Colin travels backwards and forwards with each week now. Packing the Patrol on Saturday was pretty much like solving a puzzle, X amount of stuff into Y amount of space, is it possible? Yes it was. Pat will now sit at my sister and brother in law's place until we can get the cars over on the boat, which isn't until a couple of weeks after we move into the new place. It is not just one place that we have to pack up. The Melbourne CBD apartment that has been Colin's second home for almost three years will also cease to be. We are consolidating, packing up two places and moving into one at Barwon Heads. In less than six weeks it will all be done. So much to do and so many conflicted feelings...
