We are getting ready to move in a week's time. So there isn't anything very interesting to report. It is like moving anywhere - boxes and chaos all over the place. We are, however, wrestling with some questions we wouldn't have if we were moving house in Europe. There are no removal men (as such), and you certainly can't pop online and book a drive-your-own van with Hertz or Avis. Fortunately we don't have a lot of furniture to move - we are buying up quite a few things that were already in the house - but we do have a few awkward things like a 2m long desk and our double bed and mattress. It looks as if we will just use two taxis and our car ... but I'm not sure that will give us enough space, despite the ability of these taxi drivers to get an awful lot in and on their taxis (I'll try to remember to take photos on moving day!).
Marc has been busy converting mobile phone chargers into transformers for our 12 V fans. An ingenious idea of our neighbour's to avoid having to install a 12 V circuit in the house. Marc did find it a little difficult to explain to the person selling the chargers that he didn't care which brand of phone they were for, it was only the voltage they produce that interested him!
