The Pros:

Less likely to rain on my stuff as I move it between house and van.

The Cons:

I really can't be arsed to pack.

It's too hot. Movement generates heat. Heat generates laziness. Nothing gets done.

I have little enough stuff that a voice in my brain tells me I can legitimately put it off til moving day.

Seriously. Bleh. Too tired.

So yeah, tomorrow if all goes to plan I move from sunny Chingford on the Essex-Londonio border to sunny Tonbridge in Kent, a place of which I know almost nothing. There is a castle down the road which is pretty cool in an OMG CASTLE! sort of a way and though it's outside the M25 it's probably actually going to be easier for me to get into central London than before. Although escaping back to Kent after a few brewskis is going to be tougher.

Another side effect of all this is I am moving back to my old Nilla social circles. Out in Chingford it was easy to make excuses for not being somewhere when I had a munch to be at, now I need to dust off my fibbing skills.

[/spod persona] thanks do that information about Leeds Castle I always thought its name came from the fact that its only a few miles from Leeds village
