I moved to my new house just before christmas and had to endure all the
deprivations - no water, dust, unfinished bits, clutter, etc - that you get
in a house that the builders haven't quite finished with. Yesterday, I
reversed my car into the gate pillar as I was blinded by the low level sun,
and bitterly regretted giving up the old house and moving to the new one
when I could have easily stayed in the old one another month, and the new
place might have been finished, and my driveway wouldn't have been blocked 
by an obstacle course of concrete building blocks, cement, hardcore, etc. 
which led to the expensive blind weave and thump.

Then I got a text from my old neighbour to tell me that the tree across the 
road from my old house had
fallen, and, had my car been parked in its usual place, it would have been
written off. Life's pros and cons ain't simple.
