I'm a compulsive list-maker. I make lists of things to buy, to do, to throw away, to return, to get back from borrowers, to see, to remember, to make lists of...
So when it's time to take stock of possessions, contact packers and movers, ship everything off to unsuspecting and long-suffering friends while I traipse around the country a bit, what better way to kick off the process than by making a list? So here's the first list of the process. These are the things with which I've measured out my life over the last two years.
1. Music system, double deck (I still believe in making mixed tapes for people) and Disc-man, 1 of. Somewhat battered from 2 years on campus, but still going strong.
2. DVD player, 1 of. First investment after I started working, shows my priorities.
3. TV, 21 inches, 1 of. Brought home in a cab in the pouring rain, and carried up, pictures taken of it being installed in its new home, the modern day deity indeed!
4. Bean-bag, large, 1 of. Comfort-a-mundo!
5. Books, carton, 1 of. Boasting most volumes of Asterix, Calvin & Hobbes, and the rest, an esoteric, ecclectic collection representing book-buying whims over 2-years.
6. Music, carton, 1 of. Rock mingles with jazz, the blues light up the room, and through all of that, childhood favourites - Boots Randolph, Roger Williams and Disney tunes from The Jungle Book.
7. Lamp, tall, black, with orange shade, 1 of. Casts warm glow in shadowy room. Goes with orange bed-spread from Dilli Haat and rust-coloured curtains. Cosy!
Yep, I think it's a good collection of stuff to set up house with again. Looking forward to making new spaces mine. :)

To take a leaf from Humphrey's page: In the fullness of time. At the right juncture. When the time is right. etc.

My old favourite is one "assorted slows" - also in sad vein, heartbreak healthcare variety!
And new spaces - always fun. :)

Kraz, that's too deep for a Tuesday morning at work. But the answer to your question is yes. You just gotta know how. Tips available on request. ;)

Hi Progga. Any of that stuff that you can't use, please ship it across. Or I'll even come pick it up. Hint - that is how badly I want it.
