new residence

bought a sofa last week.  it's the one thing people keep telling me is really important in a kitchen which is good because i haven't bought anything useful like a sink or a cooker yet.  it's black and white dog tooth check.  simon said it made his eyes go funny.  

we're house-sitting in brownshill.  it's totally idyllic and they are going to have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming.  the cat is in the caravan.  he's grounded.  I can't face having to pick him up from yet another disapproving vet after he's been brought in as a stray.
