Happy Diwali!

If I thought Diwali was strange last year, this year beats it hands down. I'm sitting on my couch surrounded by boxes. We are shifting home tomorrow. Diwali was always a time when your house looked its best all lit up and sparkling clean. Mine couldnt possibly be worse. If its not the boxes, its the paper and bills all over which are driving me a little crazy.

A first time when I am packing the contents of my house myself and coming to the conclusion that I have far too many clothes and shoes. Sentiments are fine things except when you come across boxes of childhood memorabilia that need to be transported and then arranged somewhere. With the paucity of space in London houses, that is always going to be a problem here. So not only do I have my stamp and coin and other collections, this year I had stored all the wine bottles we drank too - just to see consumption levels at the end of the year.

God, I am a hoarder!!!
