At last, the news we have been waiting for; a reason to celebrate. This afternoon at 3.15 I had a phone call from our Solicitor to tell me that we had exchanged on Son's flat. Sold, and completing on 21st of this month. It was so exciting that I felt almost detached from it. I called Son and told him - and he was naturally ecstatic. Daughter next, and she was very excited. And then I tried to call various friends, but no-one was in!! So frustrating not to be able to pass it on. Anyway, this evening I have had time to let it settle. I have Grandson staying over tonight, so I will go out and celebrate tomorrow. Two more weeks and then I can get on with whatever it was I was doing before. Life, I suppose. And writing. It will seem strange at first to have all the time in the world to do my own thing. A mother's place..
Dear old Terry Wogan is back on the steam radio in the mornings. And as I have a Student to get breakfast for, it's lovely to have his banter to listen to first thing. My new Foreign Student is only 21, a small, rather elfin young man, who speaks very good English. When we were eating supper last night, I asked what his Father does for a living, just by way of conversation, and he told me that he "buys and sells money". Very nice. A Currency Broker in Zurich must be doing pretty well, I think. Anyway, this evening my Student informed me that his Father wants to come to Brighton for a weekend soon, to see how his Son is doing. I was asked to recommend a hotel, and immediately thought of the Hotel du Vin. As I said, if I was coming to Brighton, money no object, I would definitely stay there. It's gorgeous.
I'm just going to get on their website and print off the details for Mirko. This could get interesting...
That is wonderful news!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteNow - the student's father for a visit - I agree - this should be interesting...
I hope you are writing down your thoughts on what you would like to do after the 21st etc. That way - your goals are right in front of you...
I am reading 365 ways to feel and be younger. It's a book with daily suggestions - and writing down goals is one and saying 'I have a destiny' is another. I like those quite a bit..I've been going around saying that (just as the book suggests) and I already feel like I do. Now the book suggests saying it 30 times a day - I don't think I've gone that far...but hey - this is only January 8th and - I have a destiny! You can have one too!
