Monday Long Song

It's taking noticeably longer than usual for me to walk past the bedroom window at the moment. From day one I've been easily distracted by the view out and over the marsh. The big skies, the sunrises, sunsets and perhaps most distracting of all, the mists that can gather dramatically at dawn and dusk. I must've taken a hundred photos of that view, including the one on this blog's masthead - another is included in this post (click on it to enlarge). I'm paying particular attention now because these next few days will be my last chances to take it all in. Just before the weekend, contracts were finally exchanged on my sale and purchase. On Monday 12th, I ship out and try to move on.

Here are Helsinki's Soft Power, with a tune from Brink of Extinction, one of  my favourite LPs of 2020.

Good luck with the move, Swede!

That's very good Swede , another to add to the list.

I hope that the move goes well. I am no psychologist but take the good memories of the house with you and forget to pack the ones that are not too good.

Cheers Ramone666!

Your suggestion caught me off-guard Drew and I confess to having a bit of an emotional moment as a result of it. It's probably the best advice I've received to date. I'll do my best - thank you. (Check out the Soft Power album, it's very good).

Great news! I saw a rather splendid New Home card the other day when I was in town. It said, and I quote: 'I can't wait to take a shit in your new toilet."

Drew has some sound advice there, Swede. I’ll raise a toast to your new beginning This evening.
