I have been in Petone for eighteen happy months now. The move itself was reasonably easy from the Stokes Valley end as I paid an awful lot of money to have professionals pack everything up. It took two very busy chappies a full two days to complete the task. The Petone end of the operation was ghastly. It took the help of two good friends and days and days to open all the boxes and unwrap the layers upon layers of paper around each object. To the untrained eye the house has looked reasonably sorted ever since - unless you opened the spare bedroom wardrobe. It was stacked to the brim with unsorted boxes and various junk that had no home. Finally today a start has been made on remedying this situation.
There are many things I could easily put my hand on in Stokes Valley that I still have to search high and low for in this house. But if anyone now urgently needs a slide rule - just ask.
The world's largest collection of 1960s and 1970s Easter egg aluminium foil in a charming chocolate box is available for viewing upon request.
Sadly, in excess of fifty flying ducks continue to wait patiently for their time to fly once more.
But that will be a task for another day.
