Cock up! Dumped two boxes in error at the dechetterie and had to go back and root through the skips to retrieve them! Oh joy…
One good thing about unpacking remaining boxes and clearing studio - I now have an Aibo up & running. I had forgotten how funny they can be!
Oh brilliant! After two hours, a gallon of sweat and a fortune in Roundup weed-killing the gully, now it’s fucking raining! What a waste!
Problem with clearing out a room is the three trips to the dechetterie required afterwards. There goes the day…
After the dechetterie comes mowing the lawn and weed-killing the gully. Oh happy happy day…

Dog refused to come indoors last night ‘cos it was so hot when we arrived home. Had to leave door open for him when I went to bed #fb
Good front 9 of 46 followed by shocking back 9, the score of which I shall never reveal. Stuart consoled me with a beer or 3 in the 19th #fb
Unpacking of remaining boxes complete. Studio is done. Garage rearranged to take overflow from studio. A profitable weekend, if tiring! #fb
Coq au vin and more of the excellent Brugiere rose to celebrate. Arms & shoulders are killing me.Don’t fancy my chances at golf tomorrow #fb
Hey - just realised. This means we are now officially MOVED IN - only 2.5 years after arriving in the house! How cool is that? #fb
For those asking-yes, this is the same move from 2 years ago. Yes, we are STILL unpacking. Yes…. finally getting to the final boxes! #fb
Tomorrow will be spent moving boxes out again, unpacking onto shelves, and finding space in the garage for the big items. Fun weekend! #fb
Whilst unpacking boxes discovered some serious breakages from the move. Crappy packing by movers. Very upsetting. #fb
Crappy day cleaning out the studio in ridiculous heat.Took all day just to move boxes out, clean, install shelves, then move boxes back! #fb
Now I’m going to grab a shower, make myself some pasta, and drink extraordinary amounts of rose wine! #fb
The wine tonight will be Mas Brugiere - not the lightest rose you will ever taste but always good. Hic…. #fb

6’10” freaks should be banned from Wimbledon. Who wants to watch only serves throughout an entire game? The odd rally would be nice! #fb
Are women faking it? Moaning and screaming. It’s very annoying. I’m talking about Wimbledon, of course… #fb
Rather disconcerting (but maybe not very surprising, unfortunately) to see iPhone-related headlines move so quickly from 3GS to porn!

Up at 5am (!) to get to the golf course for 7am tee time. Played not too bad - round in 94 (46+48). Still not got back into it after break

Someone tell Butch Harmon to shut the hell up! Annoying little man! I think he’s in love with Rory McIlroy…
Don’t we have enough decent English golf commentators? Why do we need idiots like Butch “I Love Rory” Harmon?
The 588 has amazingly low 3 degrees of bounce, which is what I was after, but found it way too heavy compared to the CG14. Disappointing #fb
Played golf for first time in 3 weeks today… not my best effort! Didn’t like my new 588 DSG lob wedge-going back to the CG14 #fb
