The dark and lonely road
Part 1, 2016

 
Me moving. On the dark and lonely road.
They should do relining in the apartments.  Then they clean the drain pipes, dry the pipes and check out if pipe need to be repaired. They are renovating the old pipes with polyester resin in several layers with a one-hour curing in between. So they just put a "lining" inside the pipes. The workers were kind and did a good work and they cleaned up.

 On the picture one of the machines they use for the work.

But the problem was we could not use the WC or open the tap. And when they were working in the apartments UNDER ours, we neither could use the drain these days. The drains needed to be dry while they were working.

We had to move from home these days. We moved the night before they were working and went home the day they were not working in our part of the drains.

It was hard to walk from the bus to the place we should live. The roads were icy and slippery. As I did a major surgery in my back in spring, I had to be careful. I bought ice bugs (spike shoes) and walking poles.

2016-11-01. I tried to be out on walks as much as I could. But this day some workers in the park had a radio on and I heard a song about moving. This was too much for me and I started crying.
2016-11-01. But there were some ducks in the river who made me smile again.
2016-11-01. I looked at the new meeting place that should be opened the next day. The name of the place is Frizon. (Free zone).
2016-11-02. Today they had the opening of Frizon. We got a little snow. It was colder.
I put on my red Arctic jacket. And was not freezing when I was out. Now I was Red Riding Hood. :-) I enjoyed the opening of Frizon, and enjoyed the music and the dancing group.
2016-11-02. The peaceful river.
2016-11-02. The lights reflecting in the water.

2016-11-02. I walked a while in the park by the river. And was there alone. The others were gone indoors in the culture house. But I had my warm Arctic jacket and did not need to freeze.

2016-11-15. We had hamburger. After the food I felt better. But I could not eat all the food. We got too much French fried potatoes. We went to our home again in the evening.
2016-11-16. But the next day in the evening we had to move again.

I have met so many people who gave me love and comfort. I have enjoyed nature, met nice dogs and looked at my small friends the birds. I must put in this rose to all who have given me comfort and strength on the dark and lonely road.
