Changes

Packing things up into boxes, moving into a temporary home, clouds of brick-red dust, piles of rubble revealing the outline of old walls, shrinking patience and growing tiredness, the damp smell of new cement, solidness crumbling, plans and measurements scribbled out on bits of paper - then lost, new spaces taking shape, air gritty with dirt, dreaming of when the dust finally settles and things can be unpacked and arranged again, dreaming of normality and also of a little one to come...

...so many changes!
