Everyone is welcome
I have not stopped today. Think I deserve a break. Doctors at 9.45. Washing up, cleaning the cooker, cooking, sorting clothes, 2 lots of laundry, went to the dump, the pharmacy and then did the shopping. All this before 3pm.
All in a normal cold French day.
Another freezing cold day in france starting at minus 3. Our small oil radiator en route 24 7. Just managed to make coffee and open and close the fridge 3 times because I forgot if I had put milk in.
It’s the 9th January, so much to do, Christmas decorations must come down, probably bad luck if not. About 3 lots of laundry to fold and put away and probably at least 3 that needs doing.
Trying to sup my coffee before the little one wakes up. Too late, guess I will have company. Need to get to the doctors and wait for an appointment alone. Need to book two weeks in advance here and wait an hour too. Got my earphones ready.
What are you upto today?

An especially tiring week this week.
Still trying to locate my cousin Peter. Impossible. I have found out that he is in care but the social services will not let me contact him because of data protection.
A full week back at work after my holiday, 3 days a week there, 2 at the house. The drive, the little one, the late nights and the early mornings just too much.
So tired and drained now. Have a great Friday night, stay safe

How can I be so close to you
but not exist…
I finally spoke with a friendly voice
That knows my cousin well
Turns out he was in hospital
Before the covid spell
But this voice doesn’t know
Anymore than me
And I’m going to have to dig
If I want to be freed
Burdened by the unknown
Only holding on to hope
Time is my only option
Call it an escape rope
My next steps that I’ll make
May provide something
And stop adding to this book
Because I’m really missing him

Is it me or does the new year seem soooooo much better when you spend the whole day in your pyjamas doing… nothing special.
Bliss!
This new year we celebrate with cheer
Muffled by masks when drinking our beers
I wish you good health and hope you stay safe
We must have hope and a little faith

We have been confined
Unable to help
Searching for you
As you have no-one else
Finally I know
You have been taken ill
But your whereabouts unknown
A very bitter pill
I know now
That it will not be too long
I will find answers
And what has been going on
You will know you have someone
That cares about you
Because in this life
We do what we have to do

I never thought that I would leave
I have always been confortable
The greater unknown never appealed
I preferred not to know
Not to venture
To search for a new life
To raise a child
Not knowing the language
Fear never really imposed
Until the final moment
As if a knife to my throat
With failure marked on the blade
Ready to pierce my skin
At any moment
With the burning fires behind my back
That would melt my skin
If I ever looked back
I would walk blindly
Into the unknown
Fear i would brush aside
I will not be burned
As I would not look back
I may bleed
As I lose my way
But I will not submit
Never

I used to love to dance
Majestically moving like silk in the wind
The music would play
And envelop my soul
Controlling my spirit
With its melodic hold
I would breathe it
With every movement
My body my treasure
My actions feel right
As it would move
Without having to think
I would dance forever and a day
Until I could no more
Stopped by my own weakness
Or until the music ends
But if I had my way
Time would never stop
And neither would I
