More Family Revelations....
A couple of years ago, I made this entry on the subjects of moving and marriage. Those two subjects just happen to be the subject for today's entry, though I will start with the latter to get things off.
After 6 years as a couple, my sister and her partner have finally made arrangements to get married next year. They've booked a church and function room in Wickford, Essex (which probably isn't too far from perhaps one reader of this LJ), and when I met them yesterday, they showed me all their lists and arrangements of what they've planned so far. Nothing distasteful as yet, thankfully. One of the parts where I've been asked to participate in, is to be an usher at the sevice, which I've agreed to, though it may result in myself dressing up even more smart than ever. Still, the church they've picked looks very fascinating, and if I get a chance, I'll probably have a look around to investigate it further nearer the time (be it in usher dress code or not).
And then's the matter relating to myself. Later on this month, I'll be moving location, though it's not a drastic change like it has been the last couple of times. The new place is only ten minutes up the road from where I am now, though of course, I do have such reasons for going ahead with this move.
For almost two years, since I began to start living independantly, I have been living above a shop, whose premises has been generally used as a restaurant. Last year some new owners came in, and revamped the place - unfortunately one of the things they've since brought in is the introduction of live entertainment. Although it only happens on certain nights, the music that is played as a result of this "entertainment" is so loud that on one occasion I could hear it half a mile away when I was walking back to my lodgings from the tube station. Worse still, said "entertainment" goes on until very late at night, which is more frustrating when I have to get up at 5am the next morning to commence an early shift at work.
However, I found this new place last week, and met up with the new landlady the next day to have a look at this alternative houseshare. Although the room I'll be using is smaller, it's on a more pleasant road - and it's a proper house as well! I decided to take up these new surroundings, and on Wednesday I met up with the landlady again to sign contracts and pay the deposit. As I've already said, this new house looks really promising with nearly everything I could wish for in a residence, and it's within walking distance from around three different tube stations in Harrow as well. I'll post more on this when I've settled in the new place and got my computer back up and running over there.
For now though, I have to concentrate on getting everything in my current location ready for the move, and this could take most of next week, though there'll certainly be at least one more entry on here before the move goes ahead....
