Sunday, 26th March
The snow is still bad, we have
arranged to meet Per and Lasse at a restaurant in town. We both need
to get out. I left Ben in the cage 4 hours yesterday. He spent most
of the time meditating, he was a little spaced out. We both went to
check on our neighbour and to take her dogs out again, he enjoyed
that. Our newspaper boy had managed to do the deliveries, so we spent
a quiet evening in, reading and watching a bit of TV. Ben had put out
lots of food for the birds, we watched them this morning while having
breakfast.
We had a good lunch, Lasse enjoyed
himself very much. Usually he is quiet in public, people stare. Today
he joined in with the conversation and told us a hilarious story from
his childhood. It took a long time, but it was a good story. Walking
to the train station from our house was not too bad, most people have
cleared their footpath. I had cleared half of the unoccupied house,
the neighbour on the other side did the other half. That is what I
like about living here, we actually are neighbours.
We popped up to the flat after
lunch, I am still undecided what to do. The thought of a long term
tenant is a bit scary, but I do not want to leave it empty, or have a
succession of short term lets.
Ben has gone to walk the dogs for
the elderly lady. It is getting dark, he should be back soon. On
Thursday a colleague overheard my phone call to Ben about him going
to the cinema, she thought I had talked to my teenage daughter. I was
asking all these questions about was he going to get some food, I
wanted him to take a taxi home, not the train. I explained that he is
of slight build and looks much younger; yes, I am over protective. I
know he is trained in self defence, but it does not always kick in. I
suggested we do a class together, for him to freshen up his skills,
for me it would be the first time. He is very keen.
