Been feeling a bit low ever since the move. Not sure if it's really connected, and if so it's probably just the unsettledness and the slight sense of anticlimax that comes after you've been working towards something. Most likely it's just, you know, one of those things. Anyway, I can't really be bothered to move or do anything. Ever.
I do like the house though. :) I'm just finding it difficult to get excited about anything. I have, basically, of late lost all my mirth. Which, as Hamlet said, like really sucks. I have taken to my bed. Fair enough really, as it's bedtime.
I just deleted a bunch of stuff about shower curtains, because it was just so incredibly boring.
Good things though! I was going to get a dining table and chairs delivered from Argos and pay about 200 quid for them and then have the pleasure of putting them together myself. But just before I did this, the church down the road put a table and four chairs outside on the pavement with a note saying £25 for the lot. They smell rather of old furniture at the mo, but I think they might be quite nice once sanded down and recovered etc. And even when I don't ever get around to doing that, they're still not at all bad.
I thought i had another good thing, but I've forgotten it. Never mind.
I took some pictures when I moved in, but most of them are just of cardboard boxes and chaos. Here are a few that aren't terrible though:
All the furniture has moved since I took this:

Nice bathroom. :)

Poppies in my garden:

Now this is cool. My house has a sealed room! There is no door, and you can only see in via this window:

And when you look in, this is what you see:

It's a little pantry. With no door. Quite obviously containing an evil spirit of some kind.
And that is all for now.

I'm fascinated by your sealed room. Can the window be opened?
(no subject)
No, the window is sealed shut. It's so mysterious!

Your new place is beautiful! I really like the wooden floors and the airiness.
We once moved and I became very depressed. The new place was in the area we'd always dreamed of living in (in Berlin) but somehow, when life was going well, there were no more excuses and the fact that life was shit was clearly down to me. Result: gloom and deep depression.
Invite me over! Behavioural cognitive therapy dictates: you must eat six times a day (main meals plus snacks inbetween and a goodnight snack) and you must do one of these five things every day for at least 1/2 an hour per activity: relax, something pleasurable, social, physical, intellectual.
So I can be your social!

I invite you, I invite you! :) That BCT law sounds very sensible - I will try to stick to it. If nothing else, I can probably manage the six meals.

And your poppies are lovely.
I'm sorry you're feeling low. :(

Ah, I'm not too bad really. Good times will be here again, etc. Hope you feel better soon too -- if not I will come round and give the world a good kicking for you.

Moving is horribly stressful and unsettling and hopefully things will settle down very soon.

1)would ask the landlord loads of questions about it (being aware that he would lie his socks off about the body that was found there with a cheese wire round the neck)
2) Break in.
3) Unpack.
Post-moving blues is normal, it's the calm after all the excitement. I didn't appreciate my place until I stormed out of my parent's house and went home for the first time.

(I am now properly appreciating my house, btw.) ;)

Did you find out about the sealed room??!!
(no subject)
We worked out that they sealed the room up (it's a little pantry really) so they could get the fitted kitchen in more easily - there would have been a door in the way as it was. How dull! I still prefer the evil spirit/portal to another world explanations.

And I love the idea of a sealed room! Does it flank the kitchen? Have they built a wall of cupboards that blocked that room's entry? How odd. Perhaps you are right that they've walled in a spirit--trapped the poltergeist, most likely! ;)
I'm sorry you're feeling low. I do think that sometimes follows finishing a big task like moving. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

We worked out why they sealed off the room, btw. It was so they could get a fitted kitchen in. How dull.

The flat looks great, good luck with it!
I also foresee that your mirth will return...and if you would be kind enough to send me your new address you might even qualify for a housewarming package. :)

And secondly, how cool is the mystery sealed room! You have to do some investigation and find out why, it has to be done.
(no subject)
VERY NICE.
It looks very nice, the house. And with the mystery room, too. A portal to another world, perhaps?
And it's not Will's old house, by the way.
I get those anti-climaxes all the time about stuff. The low after the high takes some dealing with sometimes.
Re: VERY NICE.
Been interested to read about your new job - I don't wonder it's taking a bit of getting used to, it's such a huge change for you! I've no doubt it'll go on to be a really good thing for you though. :)
