Room Widda View

[peg22]

So the icon is in the Atwater Market this past autumn. Colour (I give the Brit/Canadian spelling, although I do believe it is a waste of a good u) was almost obscene in its abundance. We used it up like it was everlasting and neverending. Here is the view from the window today:



And this was taken at 10am - the brightest it's gonna get today. . . but who's complaining? I'd like to, but apparently, in Canada, we do not complain. We just make do and suffer through and spend the long winter nights dreaming about how we're going to move to Costa Del Sol . . . well that's what transplanted Americans dream about . . .

 And then there is the window from which I look out when I write:



The curtain is the result of my 12 year old need for glitter and the window is because the girl gave up her office for me. She shares every other space in the house with me, but gives me the precious spare room, because she wants me to have a place that feels like home. So tomorrow marks 5 months here in the hinterland and except for some jagged longing to see my children more often, I am home.
(But don't tell her - I've grown quite fond of my "nook")

"But don't tell her - I've grown quite fond of my "nook""
*vbg* And Tom and I sit at diagonally opposite corners of a large living room, about as far apart as we can go, each within our own conceptual (if not physical) area. Space is a good thing :-)

A little M&T birdie just reminded me you had a birthday the other day. My bad; I totally missed it. So, albeit way late:

! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

I love that curtain. My shower curtain is white with glitter all across it, rather like that, but all silvery. What a neat thing, to have your own space. I like mine, cramped though it may be.

*snugs*

The curtain is beautiful and brings coloUr and sparkle. As did this entry. Happy 5 months!

The girl giving up her office for you may be one of the most romantic gestures I've ever heard of.

How lucky you both are. :-)

thanks for the b-day wishes - yeah, my bday is wrong wrong wrong - new year's day . . . yeah, we sit on our computers (not literally of course) with a wall between and sometimes holler back and forth - well I holler, she's Canadian . . .

Wow, that looks cold. But nice. Shall be in it myself the end of next week,(and Holy Crap there's no way I have clothes in my wardrobe for that:))

Five months, eh? Hard to believe, it's gone by so fast. Seems like only yesterday you were removing your mother from your ankles and Hutch was agonising over coffee-cup space. And look, not only cup space, but the gal gave you writing space, *and* another lovely view, with your very own piece of glitter to frame it.

If she wasn't yours, heart and soul, I'd grab her meself.

Yo Cymro, keep the paws off me girl . . . Yes, Im sure you're glad there's no more moving angst . . . I do wish you'd let the plane drop you here for a bit . . . and it IS COLD. I just bought my first pair of real snow boots since I was a youngster and had the slick red kind . . . dress in layers, I say.

BTW, we just finished season 1 of SPN last night at midnight and I would not allow the girl to peek at ep 1 of Season 2 - but I have to say, we are on the edge of our seat. (and I secretly want to strangle Sam) What a ride, what a ride!

I would not allow the girl to peek at ep 1 of Season 2 That's 'In My Time Of Dying', still my favourite episode. You will want to hug Sammy by the end of that one..*g*
