Packing and moving without travelling!
Aug. 21st, 2014 11:38 amI loved the film festival, but it really consumed the whole day combined w aqua aerobics and walking, there was not any room for anything else. Several times I was confused about what day it was or where I was suppose to be. It all worked out great. And then the day after the festival was over we moved to the other side of town. I packed everything in the morning, picked up the keys, and then moved suitcase by suitcase in the trams. Takes 2 trams to get to our new place from our old place. I was done by 4 pm - we are up to 6 suitcases now and 2 boxes - must purge.
Now we are in North Melbourne on the 57 tram line. A more interesting neighborhood, but not as good for trams as the last place. We're doing this one through airbnb and the flat has a lot more personality than the corporate apts do. We are also happy to have a gas stove and the apt stays warmer than our last one. I like being able to shop at the Vic Market. Melbourne is such an easy city to walk around. We are busy enjoying all the good coffee Melbourne has to offer - several new places that weren't here 3 years ago. Also coming up in the next couple of months - concerts by Pat Metheny and Joan Armatrading.
I'm trying to read all the magazines I have so I can give them away, but also being distracted by good library books. Film festival ended on Sunday night, and it took until Thursday before I was ready to see a movie again. Hope to see Fell tonight at ACMI. This city is so good for film.
