The dark and lonely road

Me, moving. Waiting for the bus.
2016-11-21. I was by the river in the pouring rain. Heavens angels were crying.  There was an ice floe on the river.
2016-11-21. The snow was melting away.
2016-11-21. They were not working in the house this day. One of the workers was sick and we did not know if they should work in our apartment the next day. So we had to stay at home. And wake up early. So we could eat breakfast and go to the bathroom in case they should come. This was stressful.
2016-11-22. The workers came back today and put this sign on our WC. :-(
2016-11-22. Also a sign in the kitchen. The sign said. "Hi! The drains are closed" You may not use the drain. :-(
2016-11-22. We went to town because we needed to eat lunch and could go to the WC in the store. We had some delicious Chinese food in the store Utopia.
2016-11-22. There was a little Santa house in the store. You could let you present wrap in the house. Me by the house.
2016-11-22. After been in town we took the bus to the house. Again it was so nice with the light in the window. The light in the darkness.
2016-11-24. Also today I was bird-watching. Two nuthatches on the picture.
2016-11-24.  A blue tit and a great tit.

2016-12-03. In the weekend no workers came to you home and we could have some peace. I went to Gammlia to the Christmas market. The sun was going down over the frozen pond. We only have a few hours of daylight this time of the year.
2016-12-03. The best of all was to meet the horse Helge.
2016-12-03. But I did not take a ride this time. The horse could not go in the slippery woods. They only had a little ride around the pond. But it was fun to see the horse pulling the carriage.
2016-12-06. I bought bread in the shape of hearts. And placed a tomte made of glass in the middle of the plate.

2016-12-28. I was happy to be out and walk in the sunlight.
But this story has not ended yet.
I  have to move from home one more time and be on the dark and lonely road. And one more time I will miss the river and the woods.
But some day I will be free again and walk in the sunshine and get peace.
