Picking a language nit: "for ever" should probably be "forever". Otherwise, the "for" parses as a preposition, modifying the verb "spend". "ever moving around" becomes the object of the preposition. Unless that is an acceptable manner for educated people to use language in the Eighth, (and I've never heard Beethro talk that way) it is probably a mistake.

Thank you, I've fixed it.
