The last day

This is the last day of our Christmas and New year vacation. And as a leaving present we got some snow to look at. It snowed last night for a short while but there is still some of it around today.

We will see plenty of it when we get home though. Thankfully there does not seem to be any problems with the trains. My mum and dad may have moaned about us coming down by the train but it was the best way for us to travel this time. Flights have been canceled and the roads are not good to travel on.

We had an interesting challenge while I was packing. My partner was going to take the younglings out for a walk to not only burn off some energy but to also give me some peace to finish packing. All was going well until we tried to find my eldest son's shoes. We found one of them but not the other. We looked for them everywhere but could not find them at all. My partner ended up just taking out the twins. He was not happy about being left behind.

I even unpacked the bags to see if they had been accidentally packed, but they were not there. I even got my pendulum out and used that to see if it could help me.

Eventually I went up to the third floor and I remembered taking up some bedding as it was in the way. I gave it a shake and the lost shoe fell out. I was relieved to find the shoe as I am not sure how we would have traveled tomorrow if we had not have found his show.

The pendulum was right though, it said that we would find the shoe and that it was in the house. It would not be specific though but it is getting better at finding things. Maybe practice makes perfect.

There is something that I find strange though. The night before I traveled down I was so, so nervous about traveling. I only felt better once I was on the second train. But the night before traveling home I feel not only fine, but I am looking forward to the journey. Maybe because that even though I am not too keen on my damp home, it is still my home and I am glad to be going back.

Though hopefully the pendulum is right when it said that we are going to be offered a new home in January. I think I will have to start pestering the housing association when I get back home.
