Movin' Along




We're still at that stage of a new house where you move things around to see where they fit. When the deck chair came back on Wednesday with a bright red new canvas backing, I put it in the corner of the window, next to the plants and the bamboo light. My garden corner.

Yesterday, being home on a Saturday with nothing much to do, I decided to shift the couch a bit. The couch is really a chaise longue pushed up against a two-seater sofa missing one arm so that it can be modularly modern for you to fit it whereever you want. Why go for the standard arrangement where furniture is placed in a semi-circle facing the TV when you don't watch much TV (and in our case, are restricted to just one channel the rabbit ears can pick up)? So I swung the chaise longue round to face the other side of the room. Which means that when I sit there and L sits on the couch, we have a Dagwood and Blondie arrangement where we can actually look up at each other when we talk. You remember the comic strip? Dagwood sits facing the TV and Blondie sits facing the other way. He must have been watching the World Cup on TV.
