Packing by numbers

The first lot is done! We had our international removalists here this morning. We were told to leave all the clothes laid out on the bed, so that we weren't hiding anything dastardly in the boxes. The two lads packed up 17 tea-chest boxes, and sundry other non-boxable items (bikes, microwave, printer/scanner/fax - argh!), and in less than three hours it was all on its way to the airport. With any luck we'll see most of it again, in approximately the same number of pieces, in two or three weeks.

Stage two (tomorrow) will be the pre-pack of all the rest that stays in storage in Brisbane. We have to pack our clothes into boxes, but "they" do the rest. And then tomorrow night we'll have to sleep at a hotel - not overseas yet, but much further along the stage of "beginning of adventure"-ness.

Tonight we have to cook without the microwave. It's a little challenging, but I guess we'll cope.
