A couch, a TV stand, a coffee table, fluffy cushions, a chenille throw, 8' ceilings, a happy cat, a bottle of wine, a dressing-gown, corkscrew and two glasses. It's all you need for true happiness. I am sure of it.
This weekend the sofa arrived at its new home. It doesn't have its view of the lake yet, it has a view of the inside of the basement but it's soooooo comfortable. It took some wiggling, wedging and engineering to get it into the LandRover. Combined with brute force we did it. And by 7pm we were all set up to watch the TV premiere off Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets. It doesn't matter that it was boring. We were so stimulated by the novelty of living in a house and the fact that we didn't realise it had started raining because we couldn't hear it on the roof.
This morning: gorgeous sunshine and with last nights rain gave rise to chronic hayfever or I have another cold but at least I'm happy enough to be in work with it today.
