Moving Day!

So last weekend saw the arrival of us at our new apartment!  Laura immediately decided that we should decorate by re-painting a couple of walls that were brown.  As you can imagine I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it but I have to admit that the places looks a lot better with a change of colour!

We (Laura) decided to paint the walls in the Livingroom and Bedroom a grey colour and the spare room / quilting studio (as it shall now be known!) a turquoise blue colour:

On Monday our shipping container finally arrived with a group of guys all from Puerto Rico to unload it and carry everything up to the second floor (all by stairs).

I can't believe that we didn't even fill the container?!!?  We must have done better than I thought at clearing stuff out before we left!  It was like Christmas getting all of our stuff back.  Though I had no idea that we had so many clothes and shoes!

On Tuesday the Verizon engineer came.  His name was Billy Johnston and was quite the character.  A former surf bum who grew up in California with a Scottish dad who was in the US Air Force and a Japanese mother.  He was admiring the collection of Ukuleles on the wall  so we had an impromptu jamming session - though he was FAR better than me.....

I guess I'll need to get some lessons or something if we're going to continue displaying them!
