Today, for the first time since July, I have a room that I live in.
I have a permanent address.
I have shelves I can put my books on and leave them there.
I have a wardrobe I can hang my things in.
I have a desk I can spread out my stuff on.
For the first time since July I have completely unpacked my rucksack and put it away.
I've got a bit of space that I have a right to.
It's weird. It's good.

What a strange six months it's been.

The question next, I guess, is whether you feel the first probing tendrils of your roots sinking into the place. Or indeed whether you want them to.

Still, as you say, good to have somewhere to put all the bits of your life at the same time, and start composting the experiences into something fruitful...

There are roots going down, yeah, I can feel it. I like it here. I'm making a list of reasons why small cities are nice to live in, and I keep getting these happy anticipatory shivers when I think of all the rivers and meadows in summer. I hope this lasts.

Ah right - the joys of Oxford, presumably?

A very fine city...

If I get my act together to visit the place again next year, might see you, with any luck...
