The house seems quiet

Visitor left yesterday. There would be no more girly giggles and chatting before bedtime. House seemed defiantly quiet and I'll miss Visitor tremendously. I guess it is true when they say that you will only know a person well until you have lived with that person even if that person is a stranger to you some two weeks ago.

Tidied the room and had a late shower. Was thinking of going to the office but felt that the lawn needs mowing. Have been thinking of the state of the house too much that I cannot concentrate fully on work, so might as well take care of this thing now. It took me a good few hours doing the back and front garden. Trimmed some of the branches away and discovered soft pink roses blooming behind some unruly wild climbing plants. The birds seemed to have a feast on the ground once the lawn was cleared. Finally planted the 'Busy Lizzies' that have been sitting in my room for a few days now. Didnt realize until yesterday that touching soil with your bare hands makes you feel connected to the earth and somehow makes you think about the other world (barzakh). A new found therapy for me.
