My House

My house is a two room ranch with a lovely view of the river.   The master bathroom is a cold-water shower over a real flush toilet! Between the shower and the sink leaks, I catch a delightful bucket of water each night which I can use to wash laundry in the morning.  Unfortunately, there was a slight error in engineering of the bathroom and the drain does not lie at the lowest point in the room, so water must be redirected after every shower.   The master bedroom is conveniently located in the kitchen!  I am quite fortunate as I have two, count ‘em, TWO sinks in my house!  I cook on a single burner gas stove and I use a full set of dishware!  The front room has a giant desk that remains unused, and two comfy wooden armchairs which I employ during my reading hours.  There is a large overhang “porch” out front and a small overhang porch out back.   The house  sits on the corner of the main road going inland and the main road into the village, so I am privy to all the village gossip, as people tend to stand chat outside my house late into the night.  Sweet!
