But, leaving that aside we've made great strides in preparing for the removal team who arrive in two weeks. Much has been sorted, much discarded and, thankfully, for insurance reasons, the removals company will do the packing!
Today my pension funds have arrived at last from the NHS... its taken an absolute age to sort this all out and now we can breathe a little.
Nobody said this would be easy... but extricating myself from such bureaucracy has been a very long winded process indeed.
Our garden birds are extraordinarily hungry: not only from the cold, but they are feeding their young... yesterday Sooty had a fight with a marauding Jay and saw him off with a brief fluff of wings and a cackle or two...
Nicholas
Right...I rarely nap, it is not that I don't want to take a lovely, restful break in the middle of busy days...it is that I am usually unable to quiet my mind and body enough to find a gentle release in the midst of busy times.
Today, I did, thus the delay in posting.
All that is to say that in the resting, came my idea for this post.
This picture was taken after Nicholas waited...he literally waited for over 3 hours for this raven to allow him to take its photo. It was a beautiful winged dance, replete with a throaty song that could have inspired even Piaf with its raspy, edgy call. The background for the display was the Grand Canyon and we were compelled to wait; if Nicholas wanted the raven, in all of its unique glory, we had to wait.
Today, a large piece of our waiting game has ended. And, like the photo of the raven...we can now begin to soar. We are winging our way to new horizons even as I write this. The joy is palpable...
