Tomorrow, Izzy and I fly back to the states. We haven’t figured out the full next steps when we get there, but will be in the Norwich area for a few days before heading down to Florida. We don’t have a firm date to return here, but are looking for mid-October so Izzy can start school.
While Izzy and I are gone, Susanna will be moving into our new apartment in early October. It isn’t furnished, so she will be doing the hard work of setting up a home for Izzy and I to return to while she is working full time. On the plus side, she gets full creative control of decorating the place.
It has been a (sort of) busy few weeks for me. It took a while, but Hoagie is mostly settled in our rental house as well as at Susanna’s parents’ house. Our second shipment arrived from FedEx; I think I’m done shipping stuff for now. I still have a storage unit that has some tools and other personal belongings, as well as furniture for the kids. I’ll deal with that next summer.
I have a lead on a workshop for myself when I return. It is in an older building in Rottne, a 20 minute car or bus ride from our eventual apartment. It is a little smaller than the shop I had in Preston, but it is a good start, and the rent isn’t too much. Not sure what I’ll eventually build, but will have to start by building out a new workshop! In the meanwhile, I did get a saw bench built and finished at the space I’m using in Sävsjöström at Dan’s workshop.
