Life is like a grapefruit
Box
Box. Box box box. Box box. Bubble wrap. Paper paper paper paper paper. Paper. Box. Stuff! Box box. Paper paper paper paper paper. Stuff! I have a love-hate relationship with unpacking.

Letter from America
The last time we left him, our hero was boarding a Singapore Air plane bound for San Francisco. Let’s see what happened next. The Singapore Air experience was, as always, fantastic. Food every three hours, drinks every hour, and a really comfortable seat. We had a transit stop in Hong Kong that was vaguely ridiculous: […]

Leaving on a jetplane
“Today” has been going on now for something like 35 hours, but I’m too numb in the brain to figure it out exactly. It started on Tuesday morning in Singapore with the chaps who were meant to pick up the last of our boxes not showing up, and the co-ordinator explaining that they’d get there […]

When the mover comes around
Today is the day that the last two weeks have built up to. The moving company is in and they’re packing up the house. They’ll finish packing today and then load everything into a container tomorrow, which means one night surrounded by boxes and then life in an empty house apart from a couple of […]

It’s really gone and begun now
Eight days to go until we fly out of here and into SFO. Today is the day things really kicked into gear. We get three opportunities to get our stuff from here to there: The luggage we carry, an air shipment with volume and weight limits, and a sea shipment with volume limits. They arrive, […]

Harnessing my powers for good
Today is the first working day off in a break that will last three weeks. I woke up as normal, checked my sites, caught up with my friends lives and started wombling around the house. By 9.30 I was on edge. This is not like me as I tend towards a rather sedentary life with […]
