Birthday Pics (at last!)

This was a post that was meant to appear on my birthday, but was tragically gobbled up by the internet gremlins. They hate me. I hate them. It has taken me a long time to regroup from the loss, but Andrew is heckling me, so here I (resentfully) (stupid gremlins) go:


My new home is at 6a Raven Road in Sheffield.



This is my street. The houses are all joined together. This is a really great idea in principle. Unfortunately there is an unemployed singing teenager living next to my bedroom (I put him in the same box as the gremlins... I hope they enjoy each other).



Lavender grows right outside of my house! A really big bush! With bumblebees. I like it a lot.



There are these little alleys between the joined up houses. If you walk down this one and look left, you will see my front door. If you go through that gate, you'll get to my garden, where we keep the bikes and the herbs that we steal from the neighbors.




C'mon in! (Careful, the stairs are steep!)



Downstairs, we have the kitchen (now thankfully sans Buddhists),



and the lounge, complete with fire place,



comfy chairs, and sheep. If you go upstairs,



and along the hall,



you'll get to my favourite room in the house. I love the bath. It loves me. No gremlins allowed.



I guess that just leaves my bedroom (OUR bedroom, Ed.), where I sleep and work. It looks pretty different now; a lot can happen in six months. We have new furniture, including a desk for me, which means that I can't work in bed any more. I blame the gremlins. Stupid gremlins.

Anyway, this is my house. I like living here. I like my housemates (I like them now, a lot has changed in six months). I like most of my neighbors (except the singing gremlin boy), I like the neighborhood (I can run around and there is a bakery and a green grocer and a scuba diving shop). So all that's missing is you.
