Today started at 5.30 am. A loooong day with a lot of organizing and carton. All is packed plus we have tickets booked for the last day of this month. Of course like all the other moves, also here some very last minute decisions to throw/ give away things, but I like that a lot.
The only anoying thing today was listening to the sound of tearing tape being strapped around the boxes, 'Sssssssssccccchhhhhhhhhhhhtttt!' 'Scsssssssssssssccccccccccccchhhhhhhhtttttt!!!'
I couldn't really escape from the house since I needed to check every time that all our own things made it in the box and not the landlord's. We never took any furniture to Egypt so it all went very fast. A few small incidents had happened but this was because I wasn't such a attentive mum today. The Ciccia was covered from head to toe in A1 cream. I thought she was having a great nap, but when I came to check, she sat contently in her bed, greasy as a snail, the cream almost finished.
After that, when the moving company had gone, we looked all over the house for her shoes...and discovered they were probably already on the way to the airport. So we took her barefooted to the shop. Isn't it great when you are two, you don't worry about anything, not even if you are left without shoes.
Right now thinking about Amsterdam - .... family and friends just a bike/train ride away, Grolsch in the Vondelpark..., the city museum, a job for me, hmmmm....! Doesn't sound too bad.
Tonight was the last BBQ -or parpecue as our neighbours would say.

Whenever we move i have that ripping tape sound in my head for days. Even your description of it here has me hearing it. :)
I didn't notice the 'tttt's in the headline right away, so was confused when you started talking about boxes instead of the hissing noise guys make on the street to get your attention. Glad pack out went fast. Good to get that over with.
I had to laugh about the grease... my son and a co-conspirator, both near 2yo at the time, learned how to twist open the lid of a gallon bottle of cooking oil. Toddlers really LOVE being slippery! (It's funny now... not so much back then...)
