Friends

 We have started moving and in an unexpected turn of events, things are coming along much more quickly than I'd expected them to! On Friday, I packed for the bus back to our new place--I'd planned on us each taking a couple of backpacks. Then some friends contacted me and said to skip the bus and wait for them. We did. It was a long day, but we got almost everything shifted to the new place! We have very little left to do! How cool is that?! I am so grateful. I'd expected to be spending a few weeks going with a load one day and coming back with empty bags the next a few times a week, but instead I can focus on getting the new place organized. There will still be a few days when we need to be in the old place so we will bring the few remaining bits back with us after those days. We will do most of the cleaning close to the time we leave for good. There is so much dust here that doing it now would only mean doing it all over again later. 

This past weekend I drifted off to sleep each night listening to the river flowing outside my window. It was lovely. 

One of the cool things about Glenties is the fact that they still have Market Day. On Thursdays, veg man sets up his fruit and veg stall, the fishmonger from Mountcharles is there, and the butcher from Killybegs has his van parked on Main St. I am thrilled to have a veg man again. 

Hope your week has started off well!
