The very real kitchen...

...at number 2 Tankerville Road is fully unpacked. We did that first as we figured food is the most essential pick me up when there is mess to be sorted and cleaning to be done.

Had our first slight house drama - the boiler turned itself off yesterday due to low pressure in the system (typical, the coldest day we've had for weeks) and according to the manual it needed re pressurising which seemed fairly straight forward and so I duly rose to the challenge (Joe being otherwise engaged helping Chris lug white goods around South London).

Unfortunately, I didn't quite rise high enough and ended up getting Joe's Dad and his mate round to help me. They were suitably impressed that I'd managed to get the cover off the boiler so it seems their DIY expectations for me are pretty low.

It's fixed now anyway and I have also learnt how to re pressurise heating systems which is a useful life skill I feel.

But generally the move went really well. We were very tired at the weekend but very happy. It feels like we're on holiday or having a sleepover - it hasn't quite sunk in yet. All I know is that it makes me grin alot and that's gotta be a good thing...
