Things we do not currently have in the new house:

• a phone line [0];
• and, therefore, broadband;
• a living room (the flooring people are starting this afternoon);
• hot water (MYSTERIOUS BOILER CRISIS) (the boiler person is coming tomorrow morning);
• a plug in the kitchen sink;
• access to the garage (because it is full of all the living room furniture, boxes of books, CDs, etc, see above re living room);
• a bed for doop.

• a kitchen we can move around, & a functioning kitchen table (not true this time yesterday!);
• skirting boards in the proto-living-room (also not true this time yesterday!);
• central heating, because the *boiler* works, it's the hot water tank that doesn't (which is, of course, bugger-all use in August);
• most of our belongings! (there is still stuff to collect from both previous houses);
• RIVER VIEW;
• a beach (albeit slightly muddy) outside the front door! (For another hour or so, anyway; but it will return.).
