Zebra Zebra

Strange day. Our daughter Ell is leaving home. Lodging with a friend closer to work. Her commute is getting her down. We helped her move some of her things, with a heavy heart and a skip in our step. Is this the beginning of retirement proper. Should we start to think of downsizing? She is a calmer chameleon than me. Should have been a product of the flower power era. Not the mad, bad mixed up times we live in. Miss her already, but enjoying the sense of quiet that has settled over the house.
Walked Hollie dog in the mud and the rain. Didn't register the cold.
