...for most of the day, still taking stuff out of the house there. Talking on the way home, we couldn't believe it's been almost a year since my partner Mark's dad died, very suddenly and unexpectedly, just 2 days after Mark's birthday. The house is more or less sold now; contracts have been exchanged - we're just waiting for the lawyers to do their thing so we can get finally put it all behind us.
We both hate going there now - after the rennovations needed to get it on the market, it no longer feels like a home at all, it's utterly souless. I always come away from there feeling profoundly sad. It must be so much worse for Mark - he grew up in that house, and, even though he moved out almost 30 years ago, it's always been 'home' for him. ::sigh::
On the upside, my TS disks are finally here, plus a big 'sorry we screwed you around' apology-package from LUSH, and my Canadian copy of Decoys (with all the good stuff on it!) is arriving tomorrow. Life could be a whole lot worse :G:
