Weather.
41°C outside and 37°C inside. This is no longer funny in any way, shape, colour, texture, pitch, grade, sense, size, taste or form.
Landlords.
Decided to sell the house we are renting and change agents at the same time, and we get like 1 day's notice (which we managed to extend to Monday) to get the place tidied up so they can take photos and list it on their site for sale by middle of February. To avoid having all our valuable possessions (including, but not limited to, many keyboards and Clacks) on display, we have to pack as much as we can and put it into storage. Today. In 40°C heat. Or tomorrow, which will be a little cooler, but the more we can do now the less we'll have to do over the weekend.
