We are waiting for guests, but I’m already used to peace, I don’t even want someone to come, although the place allows
A year ago, we moved from a provincial town to our house, which is located in a village. The history of our move from city to village lasted 5 years - that's how long we built a new house. Our family consists of three people, our son is a student. The eldest daughter and her family live separately in a neighboring town.
On the channel, we tell stories about our village life, reflect on things that are important to us.
Having left the city, we faced a considerable number of new tasks, which we solve with pleasure and we know that we are doing everything only for ourselves, and not for an apartment building!
Many people today dream of leaving the city and living closer to nature. But in order to decide on this, you need to provide yourself with conditions that are no worse and even better than in a city apartment.
Today my sister called and said that they were going to come to us with the whole family - two children and the husband of the eldest daughter. Of course, we will be able to accommodate everyone in the new house without any problems, although one room has not been finished yet. But even in our kitchen, a corner sofa converts into a sleeping place - just for such a case.
I have always loved to receive guests, I like the hustle and bustle of cooking, tidying up, I like the feast, the fun and the joy of communication. I like to share memories of my childhood, my parents, even cry sometimes, and that's good.
But, apparently, 2020 changed all of us very much - I caught myself thinking that I was not at all happy about the arrival of my beloved relatives. And even a little annoyed that they will disrupt the usual course of my life. Of course, I quickly chased away such feelings from myself and started preparing. Indeed, in addition to food and sleep, you also need to entertain guests, come up with something sincere, family. But all the same, I started with the placement. It turned out that we just didn’t have enough space for our nephew, because the student son was now on vacation and was living at home.
Therefore, we decided to buy a folding bed, which can then be used in the garden as a sun lounger in good weather. We have been planning to do this for a long time. We stopped at a shopping center. I will show you a few photos of what is there, although the topic of the article is about something else.
Actually, there are only three clamshells to choose from. The rest is actually sun loungers.
The first clamshell with a foam cover. Apparently, that's why it's a thousand rubles more expensive. But we have mattresses that you can put on your bed. Therefore, there is no point in overpaying for a piece of foam rubber.
The second is an ordinary clamshell, 73 centimeters wide. Nothing superfluous, it will be fine.
The third one is also a clamshell, but this green case is not included in the price for it, it costs another 2000 rubles. And the width is only 65 cm.
That's the whole choice. We bought a simple folding bed and are quite satisfied.
But I want to return to the topic that I don't really want to receive guests. At first, children began to visit us less often, because they work and were afraid to bring us an infection. But it happened anyway, the son infected us, and we got sick.
Then my girlfriends also began to communicate less, for the same reason. And after that, somehow it became - there is less communication, guests are less and less frequent. And I got used to peace, my rhythm, Skype conversations and other remote things.
Was it really such a goal that was set - to separate people, to make them more closed, selfish? No, I don’t agree to that, so I’ll run to prepare for a meeting with my dear relatives, I’ll drive away such thoughts from myself!
How did you feel about the arrival of guests after all the events of 2020?
