We’ve been talking about it for a while, and in fact the
paper work has been signed since before Nick came back to stay for a few weeks in October, but it’s all
suddenly a lot more real.
Nick now has the keys to our
little Singapore flat. The old occupants have cleared out, leaving a sofa, a
table, a bed and a table with chairs on the balcony – everything else we’re
going to have to source from scratch, although Nick has already made a pre tty good dent in the list
(mostly thanks to his uncontrollable love of Ikea!).
Last night,
the first night that he had the keys, he spent his evening picking up a few
extra house bits and pieces before heading to the flat to open a beer and mark
the occasion by having a quiet evening drink on the balcony.
In ten
weeks I’ll be there too! I will obviously have insisted on drinks being
consumed out of nice glasses, and there will probably be a tablecloth and
cushions on the furniture, but seeing past that, it’s a very exciting start, and
it’s making everything feel a whole lot more real! Only ten weeks to go. Gulp!
