On Wednesday, we finally finished cleaning the old flat after moving and the handover process. I said “thank you” many times to the kitchen while I wiped the cabinets and floor.
Since we had focused on cleaning and tidying up in the new apartment, it was really nice to come back to the old place to clean, check and say goodbye.
That evening we went to a bar, which is next door to the old flat, and where we often went, and had some Prosecco to celebrate the new beginning. I had smoked salmon salad, and Luca had grilled Dover sole.
Things we have done since moving in
- did cleaning, unpacking and tidying, then made the bed
- opened utility accounts through a marketing company
- closed utility accounts of the old place
- sent a request for redirecting mail
- informed the city council
- set up my desk and bookshelf to get back into work
- purchased some kitchen and bathroom items
- purchased a sofa
By chance, many ‘endings’ and ‘beginnings’ have crossed over in March.
Moving has been stressful, but we did things we needed to do, and it was time for us to move on. Luca finished his current job this week and starts his new role on Monday. I have just finished teaching for this term and am now focusing on my analysis.
Next week will be spent setting up the kitchen and living room.
