Got the keys!


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 pretty 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!
