There's No Place Like Home : )

Yesterday was not what we had hoped for.  It started with the property management company telling us that they had not received the paperwork or the first payment from Rik's company.  I felt like crying, but fortunately they were mistaken and we were given the keys to our new place.  So we took our first load of stuff to the house and explored a bit.  It is a really great place, more about that later though.

So after we moved all our stuff, we went shopping.  We bought lots of things we needed, including sheets for our bed.  We were gone for a long time and were exhausted by the time we got home.  So we popped the new sheets in the wash and made dinner.  Then we went to make the bed, hmmm, these sheets do not fit our bed.  Apparently there is a difference between kingsize and super kingsize.  In the words of Homer Simpson... "D'oh!"

Well, today has been a huge improvement.  Our movers showed up on time and were really great and quick.  We went and got new sheets and yes they fit!   

We made a really yummy dinner and have been enjoying some wine along with the UK charts music videos, yes they still play music videos here.  Our current favs are Dizzee Rascal - Dance wiv me, Katy Perry - Hot and Cold, Sugababes - Girls, Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire.  Most of these we on first hearing them dismissed them but they have grown on us like an annoying commercial jingle that you can't get out of your head - Rik says do yourself a favor and check out Dance wiv me, I actually had to convince him that it was a good song.  

For all the electronica fans out there, one word: Scooter!

We'll post some pictures of our place when we have cleaned up.  Also tomorrow we'll tell you a bit more about our place.
