The Big Move

Yesterday we all officially moved in to the new house. The furniture was finally delivered after being packed up from the England house months ago. Unfortunately it was raining heavily nearly all day, so the poor movers got a bit soggy.

There are hundreds of boxes stuffed in the basement area and every room is full of things. Maybe by the time we get home later (I'm at work again with Heikki), Joyce and Minna will have got through and made the house a bit more tidy and organised.

The builders will be coming soon to remove the roof. The plan is to replace it with thatch to make the outward appearance nicer. Upstairs inside will also get a make-over with new walls, lots of windows, and more room as the roof will be raised 40cm, and the extra space given by having beams and thatch, rather than what it is now. At the minute, everyone is sleeping downstairs, where, luckily, there are 3 bedrooms. After the upstairs is complete (including 3 bedrooms) Matias' current room will become a study, and the room where Minna, Heikki and India are sleeping will be broken into to make a large lounge and breakfast area. Mine and Milja's room will stay the same as the downstairs spare room (well, not for another 10 months!).

The swimming pool recently got a small fix-up. The cleaning system has now been changed to salt rather than clourine. Matias and I tested it out at the weekend but it was very very cold so we didn't stay in long. It was so cold it was difficult to breathe.

Tonight, Matias is having a friend round and some of us are going to watch Pirates Of The Caribbean, which Milja and I already saw with Nea in Finland.
