Finally moved into new house, and used the hovermower.

We finally moved into our new house in Aberdeen. The lease was written that we have the house for a year and then it goes in to month-by-month payments. Hopefully the owners, who moved to London, will be there for 2-3 years also, so that we don't have to move a second time while we're in Scotland.
The house is really nice, and we love it more and more as we spend time in it. It really was the best choice for our needs. The house is so much bigger than our little temporary Skene Apartment that Dena and I have to call out and ask where the other person is in the house when we want to talk.
My head just barely clear the doorways, as long as I slouch a little as I walk through them. The fridge is tiny, so it's taking a little getting used to. We've definately be shopping weekly. We met our neighbors that we share a driveway with. Very nice couple.
Our back lawn needed serious mowing, but the lawnmower that was left in the garage didn't have a cord. I borrowed one from our new neighbor, and got to learn the obvious lesson that one should know when using an electric lawn mower, which is: Don't run over the cord. Well, I did, so I got to splice it back together and finished the yard. The lawnmower is best described as a hover mower. It's a bit weird, but works. When you grab the safety handles and push the on button, the motor spins to lift, and slightly lifts the mower off the ground.
