1994-2007
This sofa with design and print chosen by a person I lived with in 1994.
He wouldn’t take it when he left. He dumped me with the sofa-print from hell. It’s fabulously comfortable and works perfectly well as a Sofa if you shield your eyes or use a throw. Hence the sofa and I spending 13 years together despite the ‘looks’ issue. But.
Enough is enough
Craigslist put an end to the relationship. Hoorah. Furniture Freedom!
The sunrise thrust an orange glow through the undressed window onto the freshly painted brilliant white bedroom walls. A small, sparsely decorated, warm, dry first new home. The bedroom empty, save a matress upon which is scattered a duvet, pillows, sleepy him and I. After unpublishable morning exercise two large mugs of tea joined us in the bedroom.
wendy: this could be the most exquisite, happiest, moment of our whole lives. it’s all downhill from here
him: it’s not far down from a matress on the floor
wendy: lets remember this morning for the rest of our lives…
him: a little more exercise and another cuppa will help secure the memory
wendy: …mmmmmm….. (unpublishable)
