I have paid the deposit and my first month's rent on the house I will be living in next year. I have also paid for most of the furniture I have bought. I did this all with my own money. It feels good to be independant. I will be living with eight people next year. We have a huge house and garden with a perfect spot for an outside bar. Outhouse included. I am looking forward to that immensley.

I then spent the day moving furniture and trunks around with the help of cliff, his bakkie, russell and cathy. I will be moving in officially on the 1st of Dec.

In the meantime I can't help thinking this is the end of an era. Shaggy is finally leaving after seven years, Robz is leaving, Ox is leaving and the last of the people I was in first year with are leaving too. Here's to anonymity, obscurity and getting some work done.
