Balance

I have to escape to peace and silence. It works as a reset for me. Two days of zero imput. 
I have been making kefir at home for the last month or so. For those of you who don't know what it is, I strongly reccommend you do some research, avoiding all commercial sites and if you are interested, try to get hold of some kefir grains of your own. 
Our youngest grandson who is 10 and asd, was recently interrupted while trying to buy a 4000 euro inflatable garden toad for 2500 euros. 
Yesterday, following a conversation about why it is not a good idea to make rude gestures at school, or cry and shout, he said to me "do you know what happens to old people who ask too many questions?" 
So I said no more. 
From a toddler with zero eye contact and very few words, he is becoming an amazing chatterbox but always on his terms and never predictable.
My knees are still ok providing that I do the required exercises so no complaining from me. 
After 33 years in the same port, we were forced to move Malaika to a nearby marina. It is moored next to another sloop named Nakupenda which is wonderful. We named our boat Malaika, which means Angel, after the song by Myriam Makeba because it connects to a periond of our lives spent in Africa. The words of the song go... "Malaika.....nakupenda Malaika" Nakupenda means I love you in Swahili.
