The Move Cube has left for Malaysia...

On he 15th of July the crate from Seven Seas arrived at our home in a trailer pictures below, its a curious thing when something like this arrives at your gate and you have to stuff in all your carefully chosen artefacts that you really think you'll need 2 months after you have already arrived in the country.....not only that but we are still in the UK for 5 weeks without it all, and all that we have in our home now is what will be taken on the flight, everything else in the house will be thrown, sold or given away. It is a very hard choosing what should be packed, the box that came was 146cm long by 111cm wide by 186cm tall, an unusual shape and to get everything in well you needed a masters at trigonometry. Of course I make no such claims to having such a thing but i am a splendid stuffer inner... and we stuffed it in, real good...

My only treat was taking my skateboard and my busking Boss (street Cube) Amp and of course the Roland piano (in bits), everything else was essentially Stephanie's stuff for work.









































So there ya go, that's the size of box you get for very close to £900 for a one way trip to Malaysia by ship, it will take 81 days and so even though we will arrive on the 17th of August in Malaysia we wont see our belongings until the 1st of October there abouts. You could and we do assume that by the time it arrives we would have re bought half the stuff already as need s may require it.

Suffice to say it now feels very real indeed, Stephanie has had her introduction to the school newsletter which is the last one the school and parents gets to see before they break up for summer, so everyone has seen her face now...here is the link to the PDF her pen portrait is on page 16 half way down, the newsletter also shows you what the school looks like and what it gets up to.

Also recently our what seemed to be assured tenants bailed on us and said they could no longer afford it, but we have found some others who seem to be fine through a friend, we shall see them this weekend and sort out final details and confirm and if this goes well here will be no need for an agency and we can relax a little, these were people that had expressed an interest a few months back as well, so we had to honour them and give them the choice.
