Last Chance

Today was a strange one.

Probably the final 'family outing' we're going to have happened tonight. We (all four of us) piled into the car and drove the 3 miles or so to the house which is going to be my husband's new home - at least for the foreseeable future.

I'm sure the landlady thought it odd that the new tenant should take along the woman from whom he is separating. The kids were busy choosing bedrooms and racing around the garden, whilst it was left to me to ask the pertinent questions about insurance, telephone lines, television aerials and washing machines.

Still - the house seems fine in general (with only minor things being left unsorted) and it remains to be seen just how quickly it can be ready for occupancy.

If this was my last chance to change my mind, it's been and gone without so much as a flicker of regret. Difficult times, but I'm happy with the way my future looks.
