It's been a long day, and it's only midday

[andrewducker]

I left surliminal's at 6:40 this morning, trying to get out without waking her, but not being terribly successful.  I then wandered down the road and met dapperscavenger at 7:00, and she drove me to Stirling.  There was fuck-all open for me to buy her breakfast at, except for McDonalds - so it was breakfast muffins all round - mine was actually delicious, and almost made me wonder why I hadn't been there in years :->

Then we wandered up the road and rang on the doorbell of my old flat for 8:00.  gld199 let me in and then broin helped us get large numbers of boxes out of my old loft, where they've been sitting for the past 3 years.  That took until 10:15, and then we dashed back to Edinburgh in an hour flat, where eduard_green helped us unload everything in 20 minutes flat, which was great.  Then I waved goodbye to dapperscavenger who drove off to return the van(which had to be back  by midday - the ridiculous reason we'd been up so early in the first place).

I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of the above for making it all possible, and also to Saint and Sarah who lent a hand here and there (Sarah nicely watched the van with her lovely dog Blue, so we could leave it open while carrying stuff down the stairs).

I now have another few hundred books, and about 10 boxes of comics.  This is going to require fairly intensive sorting out, and some pretty ruthless throwing away, if I'm ever going to see my bed again...

I trust that you won't throw anything out without posting a list on LJ for us to scavenge from, will you? Or better still, have some kind of a rummage sale...
