warning - diary entry -

two weeks to go. (presuming work permit arrives at some stage in this time.) there's a quiet sense of being ready. despite the material evidence otherwise - the house remains largely unpacked - need to buy supplies - & co. my people have calmed, which is really good; now when i go out with gg there are no tears. m is obsessed with research into birds of paradise. marie and an have always been brilliant; dan unsurprised, but he's always ready for any adventure. h inspires me and his stories reassure. and ben - boof! - has been so open i'm surprised, and touched.

and bean. the bean has been has been there all along, questioning and listening and thinking and talking. so much has happened in the past five years. the richness of our friendship, criss-crossed by light and shadows.

she looked at me sadly the other day and there was nothing to say.
