Yeah, so, the property people just put our house up, so there's some quite easily available photoes of the lab. It's all glossed up and shit, so you can't see the piles of comics an' t'ing that normally occupy space by the bed, settee, etc. But here is my abode:

Garden, which we + my parents just kicked ass on all weekend - see that stone? Mostly moss before Saturday:

Not exactly the hanging gardens of Ganesh'n'Xoc, but the next one'll be better. Anyway, you?

N.B. I've spared you the pristine bathroom, and a quite spectacularly boring photo of the main bedroom.

You baking cookies in there Ghadis?

Can I have some?

When did Barbelith become a nation of tree-dwellers?

It's all very strange.

That's a cute little fireplace you got there, Falconer. Does it work?

When did Barbelith become a nation of tree-dwellers?

When the hugs became mutually enveloping?

And this is not my beautiful house:

I live in a basement room that has variously described as a womb and a hobbit hole.

Nice counters -- are those Corian?

I've just spent the last week partially redoing a bathroom. I live in a rather large house, which I was able to afford by virtue of redoing lots of bathrooms in smaller houses.

I'm tired of caulk.

We don't have a real live tigerskin covered settee though, Falconer. And you have an upstairs. I had to wait till my late forties till I could afford an upstairs.

It's a real pain in the butt that your house never looks lovelier than when you're about to sell it to someone else. Hope you're remembering to make coffee and warm up wet bread in the oven when there's viewings on. And a bunch of lilies will make a livingroom smell like Kew gardens for a week for less than a fiver.

You look like you've been taking notes on decluttering from Ann Maurice. She would be proud.

It'll happen one day, Xoc. When you're all grown up.

I had to kill the tiger with my bare hands, you know. Actually, the upstairs is another house owned by a strange man who moved furniture at midnight every night for the first year we stayed here.

I live in a basement room that has variously described as a womb and a hobbit hole.

My favourite apartment ever was two 9'x9' rooms that were exactly 5'11" from floor to ceiling. Since I stand 5'10", I had the continuous impression that I was (a) huge and (b) moving very fast. I had to fold the futon every morning to get out of the bedroom, and the "kitchen" was this weird one-piece combo of a third-sink, two stove burners and a mini-fridge.

Good God, all those rooms on that one storey? You're living in the bloody TARDIS. It'll be off your hands in no time. Sold to some shortarse who sounds like Stephen Hawking and has sink plungers for arms. No stairs, perfect for the little legless fella.

I think your garden pot arrangement leaves a little to be desired. Also, people generally tend to have more than one...

You can't really see but those rectangular containers are also bearing flowers; it looks really nice, you'll just have to take my word for it.

Where's your houses, Barbelith?! We have mine and a tree, so far. I want to look into your home.

I'll have to wait to contribute to this one, as my computer is currently incapacitated.

When angry wife and computer collide meltdown is inevitable. (Especially when she unplugs my CPU water cooler - grrr...)

New PC on order, though - I'll give you all the guided tour of Chez HoverDonkey as soon as I can.
