à bientôt

This is it.

Last day to finish up at the old chez moi.

Here’s a question….

How come when The Husband moved into our old place it wasn’t clean, and our new house wasn’t cleaned for us, but I have to spend a day cleaning the old place to leave it clean for the new tenants?

I think I’m getting Frenched.

(Frenched is my new term, ie; I’m being Frenched over, or my favorite; French you.)

So here we are…

The garden at the new house has been tamed (tamed, not finished). 99% of our stuff has been moved. But that 99% of our stuff is everywhere. I was trying to move everything in a calm and organized manner, but the thing about moving down the road, organization goes out the window. Since you don’t have to pack for a long haul journey, everything is pretty much thrown into handbags and shopping bags and then dumped.

And now after sleeping at the new place, I’m back at the old place with my coffee (it’s 5am) and Fifty to get finished and say goodbye to the internet.

(Poor Fifty, he’s very confused at the moment.)

Because sometimes French companies are less than efficient, I will be without my friend WiFi for the next two weeks until it’s setup at the new place.

No internet. No blog. No Facebook. No contact with the outside world. No Real Housewives of New Jersey.

FRENCH!

bisou
P.S. 
See you in two weeks. I’ll miss you.

  7. Fingers crossed that Internet is soon set up in your new place with no problems!Go out and enjoy the sunshine and all those things people do when they don't have internet… And have fun unpacking – there are still boxes in my house that haven't been unpacked after ten months. (Obviously, I blame the lack of wardrobe and unpacking elves. But I still recognise it's a little pathetic…)

  10. Good luck settling in. Packing is always like that. Don't worry about it. Think of the boxes of incongruous items as Christmas presents. You never know what surprises you will find inside! 🙂

  16. You will be missed. I enjoy my giggle from your blog. Enjoy being internet free, especially in France :)I can so relate…the most disorganized move we had was moving from one apartment to another in the same complex, litterally 10 steps away. It took us longer, because like you said you just don't bother with the neat packing when you are moving next door.See you back soon and cannot wait to hear the new stories!

  17. So just as I get all unfrenzied and ready to dive back into blogging, I see that you are on a moving break! Gah! I've missed your adventures in Le Petit Village. Oh well, I have a great deal of blogging to catch up on. We moved in June, and we're still unpacking. Bonne chance! I am eagerly awaiting your mid-July return!

  18. I hate it when things aren't cleaned in advance. My dorm in Scotland was that way and Mr. Groom's apartment in South Korea was pretty gross when he moved in.
