Not much done today apart from going through the various forms I need to apply for residency.
It’s all so boring, and I printed out all the instructions so that we could go through them line by line, making doubly sure we filled them out correctly.
The instructions have more pages than the forms, the printer was red hot, and it nearly used up a complete cartridge of ink.
We noted all the other documents we would need to copy, and printed all those, the whole episode was exhausting.
The most depressing aspect of the whole process is learning I am only 5’ 9” and not 5’ 10” which is what I always thought I was. Learning I was short sent me into spiral of self doubt.
Kelli’s rock hero, Justin Hayward is over six foot, so I would need heels of over four inches to even compete.
I will be in the garage making something out of some old scrap wood.
We had a fun evening with Mike and Lesley playing dominoes and drinking wine. They had just returned from Canada freshly stocked with packets of Walkers crisps, Kitkats and Curly Wurlys, a taste of old Blighty.
