Moving on over... to the eastside...
Yep, after years of derision directed at east side dwellers, Clodagh and I have packed our bags and headed to Redmond where we're now the proud owners of a house with yard and all. And now a lawn mower. And, I suspect, soon to be other yard-related tools too. And many a Saturday and Sunday spent trying to get and keep it presentable. Have I mentioned neither of us really know anything about a lot of house-related maintenance and/or yard care and gardening? We seemed to do quite well with small pots off of the balcony though :) Can you tell what's likely to be the source of a lot of blog posts over the coming summer? :)
How's the unpacking going? Well, after a week or so here there's not a single room in it's "final" disposition, but at least the set of full boxes is getting smaller and smaller. And we're now sleeping on a proper bed instead of an aerobed that deflates three times a night.
In the meanwhile, if you happen to be looking for a condo in Eastlake, I might happen to know someone who could hook you up. Trust me, it'll be "friend" prices and all :)
