Through the Mist

So the couple came to view our house for a second time yesterday afternoon. Before they arrived, I fell into momentary panic. As if Sod's Law had been ruled over us with an iron fist, Dumb and Dumber flung open their back door fifteen minutes before the viewers got here. They were straight onto their wrestling pit .. I mean 'trampoline' .. and did what they do best - scream, shout, and fight. Knowing that the couple were visiting just two days after initially coming here, this was a worry. The estate agent said that they had looked at other houses over the weekend, but wanted to give ours a second look. Would the idiots from next door send them running from our home, never to return? Could they potentially ruin this interest for us?

I am not sure what happened, but it was as if the gods were looking down from above. Just minutes before the couple rang our bell, the cretins from next door went inside, leaving silence in the back garden. They came and looked around our home again. On their return from the garden, the wife was smiling from ear to ear. She told my mother that she really wants our house and that they will be putting in an offer. Of course, they are yet to sell their own home and there are some complications with a house my parents like, but it is nice to have this kind of response after such little action from buyers. As if by magic, D&D went back to their boxing ring literally seconds after the couple had left. Maybe that small prayer I made to Poseidon had an effect. Someone was definitely looking out for us yesterday and we have another viewing with another buyer booked for later today.

It's misty here today, and amongst the mist, comes Merlin. I feel a strong sense of structure and stability in him. This might have something to do with the fact that the pointedness of his hood reminds me of the roof of a house. He looks to the future, which makes me think he has foresight and knows a tried and tested route through the mist for me to follow. He represents some kind of support and guide; someone who can help me out of this fog I am starting to find myself lost in again. Could he be an agent; either of work or property, helping my family and I to find steps forward? As we know, he freely gave his wisdom to four successive British kings. Is this why he steps into today's draw? To give me some advice?

I still haven't heard back about the job in the referral unit. I keep toying with the idea of emailing them about it but I don't want to appear too pushy. I sent my CV out for a Creative Artworker job this morning. This card could describe myself as a creative mentor for young people, offering them guidance and teaching them what I have learned. This is what I hoped when I drew it with my coffee this morning, but I wonder if it is suggesting that now is the time to go in search of support from the government again. Even though it is the last thing I want, is that what Merlin would advise me to do?
