I forgot...

...the downside to moving is that you have to carry all your stuff down a flight of stairs, put it in the car, drive over to the new house and then carry it inside and down into the basement.

My bruise collection is impressive already and I have aches where I didn't even think I had muscles. Sod this getting old for a lark - ten years ago I would have been up and down our apartment's stairs like a over-enthusiastic Golden Retriever.

Ah well. It needs doing, so it will be done. I'm sorting out more boxes today and we can switch carrying to packing for a little bit.
