28th May 2011 Carry on moving

It was a reasonably early start this morning. Around 9am, having been joined by Cliff and Chris (Claire’s parents) ,the team set to work moving and cleaning. Things went well although the constant up and down stairs from one flat to another was taking its toll on our calf muscles.  By lunchtime most items had been moved, although the dreaded heavy three seater sofa remained. But fear not, the cavalry was due to arrive  after lunch in the shape of Colin, Claire’s younger brother.  The extra muscle proved invaluable when moving the sofa. By 5.30pm the move was completed and the new flat was looking good. We all settled down to watch the football – Man. Utd. v Barcelona -whilst eating a marvellous chicken pie cooked by Ben, served with lashings of wine. A late night was on the cards!!!
