How it feels to be free...

Already hosted a dinner for Paula and Thomas and a weekend for Marta. Already had a cawfee in the city with a friend. Already almost killed two of the six thousand plants that the landlady left behind. Already did seven loads of washing. Already celebrated a thirty third birthday. Already wanting more people to come and visit. Already stepped into every pub in the village boundaries (one is very posh, one is very naff, one is very same-y, and one smells of vomit). Already got the internet set up and the boxes unpacked in the spare room. Already been sick twice. Already miss my friends. Already tramped around Bradford and Leeds, pounding on the doors of uninterested recruitment consultants. Already found the house we want to buy if we get jobs. Already found three skate parks, not that we skate. Already had something from Amazon delivered. Already went on a five mile walk in the moors. Already ordered pizza (which was so awful it didn't matter that two pizzas came to less than eight pounds). Already had to fill the gas tank up twice. Already tried out all the parks in walking distance. Already started running again and signed up for a 10K. Already convinced that this was the right decision. Already happier to be here than we thought possible. All ready to make this our home.
