Man, I have missed having a battlestation to work at these last few months. It's nice to sit at one again, even if it's only a 'chicory battlestation'.

My "commute" since moving to the Chicory House isn't much longer than it is at our regular home, but it does involve going outside. Want to see?

As if I hadn't suffered enough "flood damage" this year, I started my first workday since rebuilding my home office setup - hour the first time in months! - in our rental... by pouring a cup of coffee into my keyboard. 😱

Now that we've finished our move into the Chicory House, I have for the first time in over two months been able to set up my preferred coding environment... with a proper monitor on a proper desk with a proper office chair. Bliss!

Today's mission in what we're calling the Chicory House - our home while our actual house gets repaired - was to unpack the kitchen. I think it's looking pretty good!

(The cardboard box you can see contains pans we brought with us that turn out to be incompatible with the induction hobs at the Chicory House, boo!)

Next weekend's mission will be to set myself up a workspace that isn't the conservatory dining table. 😬

The dog is concerned. Why, despite all her warnings, am I still letting these men take all of our (surviving) furniture?

It's fifty-five days since my house flooded. Since then, I've lived in hotels, with friends, on volunteering retreats and - mostly - in a series of one- or two-week AirBnB-style short-term lets. It's been wild. It's also been wildly disruptive. To our work. To our kids. To our general stability.

Today, we make a change. Today we're moving into a medium-term let: sonewhere we can stay for the... say... six months or so it'll take to actually repair our house so we can move back in. We'll have our own space again in a way we haven't in a couple of months.

I know the hard work isn't done. Our house is still a wreck! But it feels like, perhaps, we're beginning the second act of the three-act play "The Year Of The Flood". And that feels like progress.

Right, I'd better go move house! (for like the seventh time this year...)

I've lived in a LOT of different places these last few months while we've been arranging a place to live for the next six months or so of our house repairs. Each new AirBnB has had its pros and cons (and each hasn't felt like "home").

But man, I really like the "garden office" at our current one. So nice to work in the sun!

(I don't like the slow WiFi as much, but yeah... pros and cons!)
