Thanks to T., who has been amazing, most of the boxes (since we moved) have been emptied and there is not much more left to deal with in that regard. Most of the books have found their place on one of the innumerous shelves we have put up, the mountain of accumulated dirty clothes has been washed, and in general we probably know how to find our things more easily than we've done in a long time. We have been to the recycling station several times and, since it's not that far away, it has been quite easy to get rid of the superfluous stuff we've gathered over time.

Our previous home never became "home" for us, but somehow this house already is and it will feel great to spend our first Easter here in a few days' time. The bouquet of yellow tulips is a first glimpse while I continue to work my way through the stashes of work on my table.
