Spare some change?

You know what's not fun? Change. You know what's necessary and good for everyone? Change.

We are about to move 4.5km (2.8mi). This means I will regularly go to a different grocery store, main train station, ATM, local cafe, possibly trivia, etc. My ways of getting to all the places I go for work, frisbee, the gym, the park, etc. will all change. Our new neighborhood will have noisier streets and be less quaint, and farther from the beach. It will also be more centrally located and closer to some friends, and closer to different neighborhoods that have good restaurants and other fun events going on. Not to mention, it will also be a little bit bigger and we'll get a little bit more for our money. Our landlords will be our friends, and two of our friends will be our landlords. It's a bit of a trade-off. 

Moving 2.8 miles is nothing compared to moving 9,763 miles. Been there, done that. And yet, we can't help but acknowledge that we have called in this little hole in the wall home for nearly three years. THREE. 

I've already informed the local coffee shop and trivia regulars, so they can begin the mourning process, not that I will be missed all that much. Paddington has been very good to us. I am already planning to come back and visit my old neighborhood every once in a while, just for the sake of doing so.
