Well, the flat move went off in a rather orderly fashion over the weekend which was gratifying. I had Friday off work to do some packing and cleaning (a bit more of the former rather than the latter but never mind), then dinner and drinks with Byron and Briar (who were down in Wellington for the weekend) and the crew which was fun (including the excellent street-fightin' ninja skills on display outside the restaurant before Kerry rushed in to break it up, and Beth told Bev off for touching the evidence (a broken watch) - "Don't you watch CSI?!" - much to the amusement of the by-then assembled police troupe).

Saturday was moving day proper and we kicked off earlier than planned when the stationwagon-enabled Shayne showed up early, along with the movers we'd hired ("Kiwimove" - who were pretty good but did have a tendancy to horse-arse around a bit). The similarly stationwagon-enabled Brendon showed up later in the afternoon for a few more trips (along with a quick one to the bulk stationery outlet for a computer desk) and a bit of unpacking was accomplished in the evening (the building's gourmet pizza place was much appreciated that night I assure you).

Sunday saw us return to the old flat for a good hard scrub, ending up with a happy landlord at inspection time and us getting all of our bond back. Result! So Kyle and I are now happily ensconced in the new digs ... pics to follow when we've got it successfully up to our exacting standards.
