A home without personality is an empty place...

So the container left on Thursday. It is now Monday and the past few days spent in our house has been somewhat strange.

We have lived here for almost 5 years in this house. Made so many memories...but goodness me...take away the personality - in the form of decorations, photos, stuff etc - and you are really left with a shell of what once was.

Everything is echoey and we keep opening cupboards to get stuff that is no longer in there. Really mind warping stuff!  Funny to think of all our things bobbing away on the ocean soon...quite unbelievable really. Sometimes I wonder if I have fully wrapped my mind around things yet...

We stuck around at home over the weekend. People were fetching things we had sold, and some popped by for a visit to say goodbye. In between people we were all going stir crazy...kids only have a backpack each of toys. They were really forced to be innovative...and I played so many games of hide and go seek...think we are clean out of new hiding places now.

It feels like a new kind of limbo now...we playing the waiting game. Thank goodness it won't be too long. We are off on holiday on Thursday night...and this week is packed full of visiting and finalising the last few things. So hopefully it will be a better week.

Speaking of wrapping up the last few things...I had better get a move on with that.

  1. So glad you will be keeping a blog! Have bookmarked it so that I can pop in often.
    Good luck with all the last things to finalise!
    Sorry you're so far from me, would have loved to pop in for a goodbye. Thank goodness for modern technology and so many ways to stay in touch!
