Some quick notes before bed… Heather’s reading the paper, cats are investigating our feet. They’re wandering how we came to land on them so delightfully.
Yes, after the chaos of the day, Tom and Dianne of Durham (we met them as a friend of a friend – through Rabbit regular singer/songwriter Ace Colvin) are Lovely people, they have a beautiful apartment, two cats, great neighbours and some of the nicest lemon-soda I’ve ever tasted.
Incredible apartment. Conflicting aesthetics though, if you look closely. Old wood and hanging cow skulls, dusky Santa Fe-esque paintings and clean white interior. Packed bookshelves, attractive kitchen, a Phipp’s of houseplants. But there are books of chaos theory next to Native American folklore, and there are tarantulas in resin, and there is a complete collection of South Park DVDs next to… waitaminute… I was hoping to have some neat and anomolous contrasting comparison to use – but they’re next to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dogma, and a Looney Tunes collection.
I’m showered, and it’s air conditioned, and the spiders are all contained. I’m going to pretend that pre-9pm just never existed.
