#82 Sally Attic Sanctuary

Sally

I woke up to a darkly driech and chilly day with the realisation that today would be the beginning of the last few days with a kitchen and boiler, before all is removed and more walls demolished. From next week onwards and for some time, it will be cooking on an electric ring, and washing up in the upstairs shower. At least we have this shower! Some T’ai Chi lifted my spirits, until the building noise grew to new levels and heads appeared at the window of my attic sanctuary. I went out, hoping that the summer solstice tomorrow will bring a beautiful late night sunset over the Firth of Forth, and wondering if laundrettes still exist.
