Drifting through life

The views are fabulous, but oh, the cleaning.. Anyway, the breezes are blowing through bringing me lots of lovely fresh air. Unfortunately they are also blowing mountains of cat fluff out from under the bed and couch. I have to keep my eyes firmly focused on the screen here, lest I break down and drag out the vacuum cleaner (*~*)

Here is my story, part two of one I posted three weeks ago:   Seven of us sat around the big, square, polished library table. In the background, in the shadowy corner, we could see the grandfather clock, with the soft tic-toc of the swinging pendulum the only sound.

It's bottle-brush season here again>> and they are everywhere. everywhere I say! Aaatchooo! the fence surrounding the local MacDonald's carpark is looking nice remember the foundation poured on the corner block near K's house? We all decided it was a very big house.
