[_] |~| monumental

one day you are at possibly the most famous place

that you saw in those reference books at the library
that you couldn't borrow

the surreal feeling

of seeing it in reality

a vast structure

and looking back at the sea
that you sailed on the day before

a fitting day to end to our time in Greece

back home 

I packed up my life

and moved into a rental house
my stay for a while
until I decide my next steps

oh and a new resident
this little kitten
was found under the bonnet of my mans van
when I was on the island of Astrous

so we named her Astro
when I was settled in my new home
she came to live happily with me

depart/arrivee

one week ago

my house was packed up

labelled and loaded

onto a huge truck 

we had a few days without any furniture
{apart from some beds I purchased from the previous owner}
one frying pan and a saucepan
two borrowed deckchairs
and some random crockery 

by the third day, the truck arrived
the whole village suddenly wanted to walk their dogs
or visit the local bar
to see what was going on

within a few hours
everything was unloaded
most of the boxes were piled in a side room 
on the ground floor

we call this 'the room of doom'
much of it won't be unpacked for some time

so this is my new home
in La Bastide sur L'Hers
