Big

Big day at work, especially with Holiday Club next week.

A big day for Elbows and me as B moved out this morning.

He’s been with us for 9 months. He’s working and able to start paying rent somewhere and we’ve been encouraging him to move on for a while.

It’s not been an easy thing. He put objections up again and again. There has not been any awkwardness and no unpleasantness - it’s just been a nothing’ness. He has left us without saying goodbye to any of us. When I wished him well and said goodbye this morning, he just about nodded back.

Elbows packed up his stuff into the car with him and delivered him to his new home, which the council has helped sort by paying the deposit and the first months rent. B still didn’t say anything other than about things he was taking with him.

My naive hope when he arrived was that he’d become part of our family but he’s not wanted that at all. And now the time has come and he’s moved on.

Oh - and I met my friend Anna for a couple of laps of the park after work. Great to see her and the swan. :-)
