The Haven

My dear Friends

I am happy to tell you that I made an overnight stay at my flat last Monday. As soon as I opened the door I felt warm and cosy and set about making it a good evening. I cooked myself a thre course meal, soup, chicken kiev and some homemade fruit salad, which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately I forgot the wine!

All the while I had some gentle music playing, including some North American masterpieces including Samuel Barber's famous Adagio for strings, the haunting violin piece which was recorded, as far as I know, high up in the mountains. I even put on a little dance music.

All evening I had my companion-the lovely brown pussy cat who came to make his home with me some months ago and who is being looked after by my nice neighbour. He doesn't purr but he sat on my lap quite contentedly and roamed around the flat from time to time. Needless to say it was lovely to have him there.

Popped into Tim, my neighbour for a cup of tea and a chat and that was nice. Made a couple of calls and decided to have a bath and go to bed-my own for a change! After making myself comfy I had quite a good night's sleep if feeling a little strange in the morning, perhaps because I had not been there for a while. But polished off the fruit salad from the previous evening and caught the bus into town, to see my CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse) whom I now meet in Starbucks.

More later
Love and Shalom
