Cardbord boxes
Ok, so its now less than a week before we “move” and most of my life is in cardboard boxes. Its been interesting to see the progress and work out which things we can do without and what gets packed last.
So far I have kept my Anne Mcaffrey books till last, with my set of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller series. I packed all of Sharon Shinn’s last week (hard to do) I guess that it is easy to tell my comfort authors. If you count cook books they have also stayed out. I managed to pack half, but there is still a box or so that will be coming with us to my mums. The other set of books that has survived are my bibles/worship resources/prayer/inspiration books. Funny sort of mix eh! My three passions according to the “packed last” law appear to be reading science fiction/fantasy, cooking and God.
For Rachael the complete set of Daisy Meadows fairy books have been moved to her room at my mums. This is a sure sign she is settling in there. I was pleased to see the “Dealing with Dragons” Patricia C Wrede (also wrote episodes Star Wars) boxed set there also, so perhaps there is some hope that she will move on to less commercialised fantasy books. I took her to Dymocks today for a special “Fairy” promotion (buy 3 for the price of two). There was also a special offer limited edition teaser book that they got free for going today, balloon etc. Talk about brand loyalty - its there. At least she is reading and already hooked on books as a reward.
Better get back to the packing of boxes… Moving day is next Friday 28 September, settlement day 4 October. Still no idea when the shed will be finished, but we will be happy in the interim at mums. She has shelves of SF books - thinking of rewards…
