The night­mare that is our move con­tin­ues. I blame the gov­ern­ment, because that is what we pay taxes for. Doesn’t mat­ter if they’re not involved. Wait, they are. There’s the stamp duty and all that. Yah. Blame the gov­ern­ment. The stuff that I listed last night are still for sale (except for one Ikea book­case),

Blog garage sale

Because we are mov­ing to a smaller apart­ment, we have a few items of fur­ni­ture and a tele­vi­sion that we need to sell. Please let me know if you’re inter­ested in buy­ing the fol­low­ing.
