Home alone

For the last ten days, I've been alone at home in my house. It has been a strange experience for me.
Let me explain firstly, why I am alone.
Mrs FE and her brother decided that they would go and visit his daughter in the British Virgin Islands,  including stopovers in New York. So off they went.
This has been a new experience for me.
I spent over forty years serving in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary as an Engineer Officer, and as you would imagine, I was surrounded  by people night and day. When I was on leave Mrs FE was with me in our home.  For the first few nights I seriously  panicked  that I hadn't secured the house at night.
But hurrah  I'm now used to living at home alone  now
