sick

Having been typically sick as soon as work pressure permits we observe again the body’s capacity to heal itself – for what is sicknesss if not healing? – at one’s earliest convenience.

space, transformation

Deftly, we put the dining table where the fluffy chairs used to be, and vice versa.
Several things have happened as a result.
We have a new extension, we have a lounge, we have about 3 times the space, we dine in Stuttgart, we can see long, bare walls.
When we go outside through the sliding glass doors we want to live in the room we see through the sliding glass doors. When we sit at the dining table we can’t wait to sit in the lounge; when we sit in the lounge and look over towards the dining table we can’t wait to go and spend some of our holiday sitting at that table.

bed, rite of passage

A big bed arrived today which I had much involvement in procuring.
There’ll be no more rolling up the sleeping mats and jackson pollacking in the bedroom.
The mattress is Victorian apparently, and pleasingly firm.
In these little ways we forsake our youth and turn into people with a proper bed that one has to mount a small pony to climb up into.
