All Friday Regula have been packing our stuff into cardboard boxes. On Saturday morning at 8:30 10 of our friends arrived in Aarburg, ready to help us move all our belongings from the flat at the Feldstrasse to our new house at the Aarweg in Olten.
We had packed 90 boxes which had to be carried down 3 floors at the old place and up 4 floors in the new place. And this was only the beginning. The boxes alone filled the Van we had rented. A further three rides were necessary to transport all our furniture. I had hoped we would manage with two rides. I was so wrong. I promise, I will never buy anything new unless I give something old away ...
At 4pm all was done and everybody had had a gracious share of lifting and stair climbing. Thanks to the delicious lunch my mother had prepared for the whole crew we were tired, but at least well fed. (Thanks Mom!)
A big thanks to Alexa, Claudia, Doris, Gabi, Regula, Christoph, David, Fritz, Manfred, Manuel for their help. If you are ever going to move house, count me in.
