That's shocking. Good to hear she is no longer part of your life but your mate still is. My sister used to work for the home office and at one point worked in the immigration department and a friend actually said to her 'oh good, you can make sure more of 'them' get sent home'. She put them in their place straight away and got a transfer as soon as she could as she hated the job.
To Say Before Going To Sleep
by Rainer Maria Rilke
I would like to sing someone to sleep,
have someone to sit by and be with.
I would like to cradle you and softly sing,
be your companion while you sleep or wake.
I would like to be the only person
in the house who knew: the night outside was cold.
And would like to listen to you
and outside to the world and to the woods.
The clocks are striking, calling to each other,
and one can see right to the edge of time.
Outside the house a strange man is afoot
and a strange dog barks, wakened from his sleep.
Beyond that there is silence.
My eyes rest upon your face wide-open;
and they hold you gently, letting you go
when something in the dark begins to move.

four girls or three boys?
That is really great DT! Right up my street. I think it must be one of my favourites of yours. Love the reference to the magpie augury. There are lots of versions of them and most go up to ten but I just found one that goes to twelve and it signifies fulfillment!:)
