The Delights of Domesticity

There ARE actually one or two things that I appreciate about working from home. They include:

1. Following the sunlight around from room to room as the sun arcs in the sky.
2. Lavender dead-heading. It’s aromatic, repetitive and curiously calming.
3. Pumelling the pillows when I’m angry. Plus the duvets too, for good measure!
4. Drying the washing outside in the wind. It smells so much fresher than airing it on the radiators…
5. Inviting friends around for dinner. The simpler the cuisine the better – so that I can keep my focus on the sizzling conversations we have.
6. When Beloved cleans up uninvited. (Hmm. What’s his angle?)
7. Having my own chair, which is MINE.
8. Creating Penny’s Ironing Rules. Minimal ironing. Period.
9. Nurturing next door’s cat. He’s Nero to me…
10. Tracking the bats that flit about in the streets at moonrise.
