Well, I’m finally moved in properly; the desk arrived, was setup, along with my other furniture, and I’ve started to populate them all. It turns out I have more books than I realised; I need another bookcase already. :) It’s somewhat surprising how long it takes to move everything. It was always a fair bit… Read more
