All her textbooks were packed efficiently in long boxes, with pencils, notepads and the rare desk knickknack left to fill the patterned empty space above the spines. She had tested the weight and strength of each box and, finding it only slightly taxing to stack them in the corridor, decided that it was an adequate load for the contractors to handle without problems. The delicate equipment had gone over on the first lorries last week. After a short and completely unnecessary fight with the Dean, her filing cabinet had been carefully shipped in its entirety. The desk and chair may have been relics as old as Cavendish Laboratory itself. They were staying here; the new ones would be delivered to West Cambridge on the following afternoon. There was nothing left to do ( ... )

(Apologies for any inconsistencies with real world Cambridge for those who know it better than I; it was written with guidance from Google Maps and some helpful historical sites.)

Thank you :) i only got the idea after doing some searches on cambridge and learning it really did up and move the physics department (3 miles even!) In 1974.

And i think you and i have such polar opposite styles & strengths as to be nigh incomparable. We would have written totally different fills :). But now, round 1 is in the books! On to round 2! :)

Aw, this is wonderful! It's a lovely idea and very much them. :-)

Thanks! I've only seen Spearhead from Space with Liz in it, and read various histories, wikis, and fanfics. So I'm glad they came across well.

Re: Moving Day honeynoir April 13 2013, 12:11:50 UTC

Aw, this is lovely! I love Liz's analytical nostalgia and the sort off stand-offish camaraderie she has with Three...

Re: Moving Day eve11 April 13 2013, 15:42:38 UTC

Thanks very much :)

Re: Moving Day nonelvis April 13 2013, 22:39:42 UTC

I've been watching the Liz episodes recently, and have been really wistful that she never got to travel in the TARDIS with Three. If you ever decide to continue this, I'd love to read it.

Re: Moving Day eve11 April 14 2013, 03:22:05 UTC

Thanks. I think I will have to watch all the Liz episodes too if I want to continue it. :)
