Small entryway room that is intended for removing muddy boots and shaking snow off the coat during the winter. Not always part of the central heating, sometimes little more than an enclosed porch. They don't exist in my part of the country, I just know about them from relatives who live where it snows a lot.

Oh that's so mean.
Okay, I'll bring spotted dick and steak & kidney pudding instead.

PS - looks wonderful.
Dear, if you bring cookies, I'll bring cake. Heck, you make better cake than I do. You bring cake and I'll bring cookies, hehe.


Anyways, that house does look nice. I think the porch is wonderful to sit out and play an instrument. With your wonderful playing, I'm sure the neighbors won't mind.

This is kind of weird, but at 42.... I've never lived alone.

At 53, neither have I. Enjoy it, I'm sure there'll be some positives you didn't think of. I hear Merchantville is nice.

At first I was depressed as hell (but was going thru divorce with the man I twuuuuuuuly wuved) and didn't have enough money tho I was working nights. AND I WAS WORKING NIGHTS.

But now---now that I'm finally settled I LOVE it.

It might take a while, but I bet you come to love it, too.

Yeah ... going through the same thing. Fifty-something, never lived alone. Well, I guess my first year of university counts. Once I met my ex in second year he moved in pretty fast - strictly for practical reasons, of course ...
And I never lived alone again.

So it's pretty cool having my own woman-cave.

sorry Trilby, but my blurry vision read your post as 'worm In cave' !!

Think I'll stick with woman-cave, at least until my vision returns to normal.

If I lived alone, I would walk around the house nekkid, after removing all the mirrors. I wouldn't have a bureau, I would have a clean clothes basket and a dirty clothes basket. I would reuse the same flatware, use it, wash it, use it - no need to ever be put away. I would have lots of house plants, and I would never dust. Celery would not be allowed in my house. But that's me.

Quentin Crisp says he never cleaned his apt and after about the first four years you really couldn't tell any difference.
