We have moved back to the house

Monday, 27^th February

We moved back in yesterday. The plan was to to take some stuff, but after we had taken quite a few boxes on Saturday, it felt even worse there Saturday evening. We did not stay in the flat, we went out for dinner, which was actually a very nice evening, and then the boy shared a bed with me, all night!

I woke up twice and it was so nice having him lie there. I was tempted to wake him up for sex, but waited until the morning, and we made love for a couple of hours!

We still have to fetch some stuff, and of course it needs to be cleaned. But basically we are at the house now, and I will have to make sure I make this officially our main and only residence.

Yesterday afternoon, after our last trip, moving suitcases, the boy was not very well. We had just come in and he needed his bathroom. Carrying boxes uses abdominal muscles which causes his guts to go into overdrive. I unpacked, and finally made some peppermint tea, which soothes his digestive system. He was stretched out on his cot, he was grateful for the tea. I asked if I could sit down with him, he said of course. It was strange looking at the bars, and then it was normal. I asked him about it, I said it had been on my mind lately, him sleeping in the cell or in a cage, most slaves do not have arrangements like that. He said it was what he was used to, he sees the bars as a wall, like a normal bedroom. When he first had to move to the basement in Canada, he felt it was “not fair”, but Erik was so pleased to have a room mate, he made it very easy for him, and it became his room, his space, and that's how he feels about it here. Of course if I wanted to change it and have him share the bedroom, he is fine with it. I replied I like our set up, we both get a good night's sleep, and it makes the time- if we share a bed - more special, and I like it when he wakes me up. He is a very early riser, and I like to sleep longer. He goes to bed early, I am often up until late.

We had finished the tea, he asked if he can rest longer. I know from before, if he does not get his rest, he is very cranky and we end up arguing about nothing, so of course I let him rest, his health is very important to me.

We had a note from our neighbours, they are selling their house. They used it as a weekend and summer house for at least 3 generations, but now the next generation have houses somewhere else, and the couple do not use it much anymore. They will probably make a mint on it. It is a very small, very old hut, someone will probably want to tear it down and build something proper. Maybe I will cancel the cutting of the leylandi this year, and let them grow a bit higher. Ben and I like to play outside.

I cleaned the car, I am sure the dealership will do it anyway, but otherwise Ben would have done it, and it is not good for his abdomen. We drove to the club, the builders have vacated it enough to give us the space to set up. The new signs were going up, it looked great. Ben, Martin and I had our photo taken in front of it, we decided to use a rainbow flag on the signs to indicate to passers-by what to expect here. We are expecting a drinks delivery tomorrow, and will have a soft opening on Wednesday with some members, and officially open on Friday. It will be good to be back in business!
