10am. Are we done with London and ready to go then? Well, I guess so. We've been running around for a while getting everything sorted, running through checklists and just Getting Things Done. The post is supposed to be redirected from today or maybe even tomorrow. It doesn't help that some came through the letterbox today from the dentist we had requested our records from and closed our accounts with. There's a minor panic was just averted in the other room when we discovered that we had too many clothes to bring with us and not enough suitcase space. We're going to be overweight on that flight to DE I can tell you. Nothing we can do about it though, our stuff is not going to get there for about a week, maybe two and we simply have to have enough stuff to last us through. It may be even longer than that too - everything we have is going to be stored in Anna's parent's basement, and we might be able to leave it all boxed until we find somewhere to live.
17:53. It seems like the end is in sight. I kept the PC and server running and they're all that is left now, apart from the laptops which are coming with us tomorrow. I have to disconnect the speakers, which means moving all the furniture so I can take up the carpet so I can get the wires. The line from my DSL router to the socket runs under another piece of carpet around the wall and that has to go too. The server needs to be taken down and disconnected (and I have to go through the disks in the array and make sure they are secure. I never managed to get hold of an HDD shipping case (the kind that manufacturers would ship them to OEMs in) so I'm going to leave them in the server and write "FRAGILE!!!" all over it in luminous radioactive poison. That's about it I think. Power strips and cables are all that remains I think.
This is the last post I will make from this flat. That is really only starting to sink in. I have been so busy with the logistics of this move that I may have forgotten to be excited about it for the last few days. Wow. Last!
