Earth Sunset
As regular readers will no-doubt know, the other Earthlings and I are currently in the process of moving house. Last weekend, as well as watching the Eurovision Song Contest, of course, we packed a lot of boxes (mostly stuffed with board games) and moved a handful of them over to New Earth, our new home, …

Who's Your Daddy?
Days before he and the other Earthlings move out of Old Earth forever, Dan finally gets to have a conversation with his neighbour. And his poor mind is damaged forever by the experience. JTA's probably will be, too, when he reads this...

What I Learned About Democracy, Injury, Packing & Friendship
Dan has a busy weekend of packing boxes, promoting better democracy, fretting about his dad, and socialising with a new-found friend. There was a royal wedding in there and a trip down the river to a pub, too, but those aren't mentioned in this blog post. Except right here.

The Board Games Are Breeding

Finding my Geographic Centre
What do you get if you take the average location between all of the places you've ever lived? Dan tried this, and it turns out that his geographical centre point is only a quarter hour's drive away from where his parents live, even without weighting. How will it be affected by his house move, later this year?

All Along The Watchtower
Ruth, JTA, and I have found our way to Earth - our new home, in Oxford - after the most exhausting house move I've ever done. Particular challenges in getting things to Earth included:
My mountainous quantities of stuff, and in particular the things that I own that are of awkward shapes for packing … -
Claire Goes To Pisa
So, last weekend Claire moved out of The Cottage and into her new flat, the top floor of a somewhat-slanted building on Queen's Road which I've tken to calling Pisa. I gather she's planning a flatwarming party in the afternoon - if you're on the Abnib Events SMS list, you'll already have heard about this, …

Where Are We Moving?
On Wednesday, 14th December 2005, Claire and I are moving house. For those of you who are allowed to know where we're going, here's a map and things [update: link killed late 2006]. You'll need to answer two to six weighted-value questions of your choice to demonstrate that you actually know us and aren't just …

Let’s Get Packing!
A huge thank you to Paul and whoever his four unnamed helpers were who helped to pack up a lot of the stuff in The Flat this weekend into a huge stack of boxes. This is an enormously good start, and really morale-inspiring for Claire and I. Thank you.
Now; we're not ungrateful or anything, … -
We’re On The Move
Always a fan of double meanings.
This weekend, Claire, JTA, Binky and I are going over to the Real Ale Ramble in Llanwrtyd Wells. It'll be fun. I just have to find some warm clothes and wash them, first.
But we're also "on the move" in that Claire and I are going to have to move out … -
Paul In Aber
Paul made it to Aber. Woo and indeed hoo. He, Bryn, Kit, Claire, and I went to the beach and drank beer and ate pizza to celebrate. Then Claire and I took turns in an inflatable dingy and I got soaked as a wave leapt over the side. You'll probably see their reports of this …
