We Dwell in Forever
May. 8th, 2009 05:54 pmSo, today is the first chance I've had to 'not do work'. I thought I'd show you 'round the digs a bit, most especially my own private part of the house... or property because technically it isn't attached to the house at all. We call it 'The Library', although it also includes my office as well as the obligatory books. I've still got some work to do to make it all nice, and some BIG comfy chairs are required for The Library before I can truly call it my retreat from the world, but I'm extremely happy with my space - as we are all extremely happy with the house, the yards, the pool, the schools, the community, the weather and just about every possible thing there is about this place. Buying our own house and moving out of Sydney was definitely the best thing this family has ever done.
Anyway, on with the slide-show...
Here is the view from our back patio to the right:
Most afternoons and many evening are spent on the patio - reading, drinking, chatting and generally just relaxing. On Sundays, once the papers have arrived and the coffee is brewed, Kylie and I barely move from those chairs.
A closer look at the pool area:
'The Library'- my special place - looking left from the patio:
Looking back from the Library door to the patio (with Strickland State forest the eucalypt covered hills in the background):
'The Library' looking in from the entranceway:
There are 12 bookcases in all... and I'm going to need more already! Luckily the Library still has room for at least another 12 book cases... with space left over for the comfy chairs :)
And looking back the other way:
And, you can't see the door, but in the wall in the far right is the entrance to my air-conditioned office with...
Computer desk (for writing, coding, illustrating and gaming):
And, opposite that, my old writing desk (now used for pen/pencil/paper writing and drawing):
Hopefully, now that I've dispensed with most of my work and I'm writing more frequently, I'll also be posting here more often. Let's see how we go.
