Give me air

Reading, Berkshire, England // 5.50 pm // Mostly cloudy 24ºc / 75ºf

I'm sitting here in the bedroom absolutely sweating to buggery. The one big thing I've always hated about living in this house is how unbearably warm it gets when there's a little bit of sunshine outside. Mostly because we only have windows on one side of the house, and this side faces the sun pretty much from dusk till dawn. The heat comes in and stays. We can't open the windows because bees sit and wait in the trees across the garden for the window to open, then make their advance. Our new flat has windows at the front and back, thank god. A bit of air circulation will be a godsend.

There's been a couple of more developments in the whole move. We finally have transport for all out belongs sorted out, arriving in Reading at 10am on Saturday morning, 2nd August. And we're meeting the estate agent at 12pm in London at the new flat.

In the meantime Elle has got us loads of boxes and packing is well and truly underway. I've also notified some companies of the new address. Cancelled electricity and water for the date we're moving out. Same goes for the phone/internet/cable tv.

I need to make a start on the radio magazine, which has to be done before Saturday. On Saturday I'm travelling up to my old university town of Stafford to meet up with the 6 guys I lived with in the first year for a rather large scale piss-up. Even though I arranged it, with hindsight it couldn't have come at a worse time! But I'll certainly be using it to unwind for a night.
