I've been quiet recently as I have been moving into my new home with my partner. It's my first time moving out from home and my the first time that me and Rob have lived together. So how's it going?
Overall it has been great. It's been one of the most stressful things I have ever done. The last minute worries over it potentially falling through and the thought of all that debt stacking up really started to get to me. The moving in day and the ones following however took all those worries away, the fun began and a few little niggles aside it's been very enjoyable since.
Aside from the usual lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom we have two really fantastic rooms. The first is the arts and crafts room, there are two desks (one each of course) and a multitude of drawers and boxes containing a wonderful selection of card making stuff and art materials. The eventual plan will be to have it set up as a studio and display area for projects recently completed.
The second room of amazement is *drum roll please* the library! Now I will be honest, the bulk of the room is actually films and television DVDs and Blur-Rays. Myself and RH are both avid collectors of favourite films and shows. This is essentially the fiction room, it contains all of our combined fiction books and alongside the DVDs you can wander in and get lost for hours. We have a cosy chair in this room and a cushioned bench ready for slumping into after a hard day at work.
Around the downstairs of the house we have a few book cases to display our gardening and esoteric books. It's wonderful having a real place to display our most valued books of all, it's an ongoing collection that we add to only when we find those really special books that really add something to the knowledge contained within them collectively.
That's it for today, I didn't really want to go into anything too philosophical on my return to blogging as I've been so busy with the house I haven't been able to have a good think on things recently. I'm also getting used to being with another person all the time which certainly reduces your personal thinking time! (The library and craft room should help me there of course.)
Thanks for reading!
