I have some good news and an answer to the prayers of all of you for accomodation for me. Today I went to look at a small studio which is at the rear of a family home. The family who owns the home has chosen me to be the tenant there, with a flexible lease. Thanks be to God, who heard my prayers and your prayers for me. It is in a good and quiet neighbourhood, close to where my own home is but completely secluded. I am moving there in a couple of days time. It is affordable and comfortable. I will stay there for a few months. I am not going to tell my alcoholic friend, Mark, where I am exactly. I am close eough that I will be able to keep an eye on what is happening at my own home and to maintain a cordial relationship with Mark, but not get caught in a vortex.
More good news. Mark has been caught in a flagrant violation of the House Rules. Before he moved in, I warned him in writing that if he violated certain house rules he would be removed to the garage with his posessions. Well, he couldnt' help himself, could he? He was caught this afternoon in violation of the most important House rule. He has been given 3 weeks notice to get out of my house.. This is now happening. The garage is not yet liveable but I've given him 3 weeks notice and I've engaged the services of a builder to insulate and quickly line the garage. It is way at back of my property and he can live there in peace, and I can eventually go back to my own home, which he will be locked out from, apart from the ablutions block. Thanks be to God for a good outcome! Prayers, please, that the insulation and lining will happen quickly. It isnt complicated so should really only take 3 days!
