Move from Parkes Avenue to Kakaho Drive

Crates of pianos en-route to Kakaho Drive (we meant to include this picture with the ones in the next blog entry, but somehow missed this one)
Some things fit into neat little (or big) boxes - other things just seem to naturally fill up a van!

Lunch break! Mariaan arrived at 12.30 sharp with pizzas, chips, salads and drinks - organised to the last plate and plastic glass! Everyone took a breather over lunch before the last big push to get everything safely delivered to Kakaho Drive.















It was just so incredible to us how folks just kicked off their shoes and got stuck in packing and wrapping and chatting. The linen lurking in this picture was as back-up in case there wasn't enough paper and/or bubble wrap to finish the job. We fortunately didn't have to wrap glasses in pillowslips!




There goes the last load from Parkes Avenue - garage tools and woodworking machinery.


This photograph demonstrates how things are prioritised - no matter how disorganised we are and regardless of how much chaos there is around us, first things first - the piano is in it's place and there is a clear and comfortable sofa to park your tail on while you take in some relaxing music since the sound system is connected - wires everywhere, nothing pretty about anything, but hey - we will get there eventually!





One could be excused for thinking that you might need wings to get out of that sliding door! Chaos is reigning supreme on Saturday evening, but the one good thing was that although we had no idea where anything was, at least we knew for certain that all our belongings were amongst that lot somewhere!





















By Sunday evening there is a semblance of order in the kitchen/dining area - enough space has been cleared to create something delectable at the stove! Note the couple of bottles on the counter top - Bertrams it is not, but good enough to wet the whistle!
Dis al!
