Has it really been one year?

One year ago today was settlement day, the day that I picked up some keys and took possession of my place. Within two weeks from then I had moved in, but in the almost year since then I have been working through a todo list. A list that is seemingly endless as items are added at around the same rate that they are completed.
The completed things (mostly in order of east to west through the property) include:
- new television
- mounting said television on the wall
- new shelves to fit in the alcoves on either side of the television
- additional antenna socket in the study
- network cabling between the television and the study
- a two seater couch and two armchairs
- a number of my photos mounted on the walls in 16×20″ frames
- all sorts of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockey and appliances
- swing out rubbish bin under the kitchen sink
- two stools for the kitchen bench
- new deadlocks and entrance sets, including the garage
- remote opener for the garage door
- additional towel rail in the bathroom
- shelves within the cupboard in the study
- cutting down trees and removing stumps from the front garden
- digging over front garden beds
- removing bamboo along driveway
- taking down unused curtain rail hooks
The larger items currently on the todo list include:
- put up venetian blind (currently on order) in kitchen
- get quotes for new screen doors
- finalise new line for edge of the garden beds and put in concrete mower strip
- rug in the lounge and a new coffee table
Here’s to another year…
