I live in Brighton again!

[shermarama]

 Hooray! I live in Brighton again!

• The sun is shining through the window of my room and warming the back of my legs in a most enjoyable way
• I only have one address now instead of having to work out which one to send various things to etc.
• I don't have to go into an office every day - no more commuting, no more tubes, no more scrabbling to get on the 29, no more waiting interminably for a 91
• I had boiled eggs for breakfast, cooked on a gas stove, so I could turn them down once they'd started boiling - three long years of shit electric hobs are finally over
• All our stuff is one place together

However:

• 'All our stuff' includes five double beds. One of these is a futon and is therefore being the sofa; another one can do a partial impression of a futon and is pretending to be another sofa. This still leaves us with two more beds than we need. Of the excess frames, one's in the loft and one's in bits on the landing, and the two excess mattresses are leaning against two different walls in this room. 
• It might well be more efficient to put the two mattresses together on the same wall until we get rid of them, but the bed situation is somewhat representative of the situation as a whole, and that means that there's so much bloody stuff in here that the mattresses can't be moved into the same place as each other until some other stuff moves.
• For example, I have a desk which I'd like to use rather than lying on the bed, lovely as it is to have the sun on my legs, but various bits of it are in two different rooms, and before they can be reunited I think I need to move my ex-flatmates' heap of bedding into the loft, several of the bags of clothes onto the bed and the heap of books in the corner onto a shelf in the lounge, and then I can probably extract the mattress from the back wall and put it next to the one on the other side of the room, and then there'll be room to swivel the bed round so it's against the side wall, and then I can put the shelves at the foot end, and loads of stuff can go on the shelves and in the gap between the shelves and foot of the bed and then I think I'll have room to build the desk by the window. I think my aim for today is to have a desk for tomorrow. 

But my aim for right now is to go down London Road and get some food.
