I walked in the new house tonight, turning on all the lights, imagining where all my belongings will go. It's been so long now since I've last seen them unpacked, I don't know if I can remember everything.
The good thing is the new house will probably allow me to purchase a bit more furniture! But sadly, I think I will need new curtains.
It's kinda strange, because now I have old furniture that's too good to get rid of, and yet a part of me feels like a change. Which is hard to do without changing everything.
I look forward to building the new home now. Something tells me a lot of the building will be solo, with me doing most everything and Tigger just dropping in for the major highlights.
I would have loved a house like this back in the city. Especially the garden, the way it unfolds and will be lit up at night so I can turn off all the lights inside.
Yes, it will be special and beautiful because I will make it that way.
Tonight the stars are back out again, after a momentary absence. But they are small pinpricks and do not hang low. The sky is a real inky black though, with a whisp of cloud just carelessly thrown in the forefront for good measure.
I know I am beginning to bond with the new house. The dining room and the upstairs will be my favourite places. The dining room with all its glass. I just have to fix the lighting issue because it is important to me. Dinners must be just right.
Although quite frankly, I can't think of anyone on this island I'd really like to have around the table. With the exception of Richelle's family. Somehow I like them.
I don't even want the friends I knew prior to moving here to come, really.
But friends from home, I would love. And I think they would love it too.
I can't wait for Babbitt and Miu to see it.
And of course le famille.
Tigger's family is insane.
