We moved...

Yes, I could have written from my phone, etc. but I wanted to spend time getting things ready for the big move. If you haven't moved house for 10 years, and you and your spouse are both messy hoarders, this makes life a little tricky.

I threw out masses of stuff, but there still seems to be far too much in the way of books, CDs, DVDs, etc., not to mention computer and msic instruments and equipment. I am really annoyed that I haven't been able to rationalize things as much as I would like, but it's not completely awful, anyway. The worst thing seems to be that my wife has not thrown out anything (we have some really weird stuff that has made it over on the move) and we got rid of a few bookcases, etc. Doh!

The house itself is old - by Japanese standards. Parts of it date back to pre-war, and the “new part” is at least 40 years old. We are 5 minutes' walk closer to the station, and there is even a little garden. The room I'm working on has large floor-level windows I can open (but I think it's going to be cold in winter).

Anyway, photos (hopefully) and more in a little while. I have to help empty some more boxes now. But it's nice to have the computer system working again after a few days away.
