And so it begins.

#GreatMoveNorth

Sat on my office floor, packing boxes of explosive flash bulbs. Yay.

@pluviaLitterarum Glossop, about half an hour east of Manchester, and right on the edge of the Peak District. And about 45 minutes drive from Alex Foster, for what it’s worth.

@coldkennels Love the sound of the city name :D And proximity to Alex is an important factor 👍

@pluviaLitterarum I’m sure I’ll either be much better at Bomberman or in prison for murder by the end of the year. 😅

I am not sure what I am more tired of: packing or cleaning things that have developed a veneer of mould from being stored in cupboards.

Getting out of this damp shitbox after nine years will be such a relief.

#GreatMoveNorth

The end result of today’s packing: a tower of boxes of photo books, vinyl, and 1990s and 2000s video game peripherals. Plus a sake set and my partner’s bike helmet, for some reason. There’s a stack of freshly-cleaned instant photos on the table in the foreground.

@coldkennels The labelling on that bottom box might put your move insurance premiums up! Excellent way of getting the removalists to concentrate, though...

@carusb There's two boxes labelled like that! Luckily we're doing all the moving ourselves. I wouldn't trust a removal firm with this stuff.
