I dream of having lived in a house for that long! Well, perhaps I have
feet that are too itchy to do so. Having moved back to our house in
England from the Netherlands in Feb 01, I have now lived longer in one
place than ever before in my life (my wife worked out that she had
moved home for me 17 times in 21 years of marriage by Feb 01).
I still manage to lose things though ...
