Serenity of austerity. Austere is what I think I like in my room. at the moment there is just a clock on the wall, a 2 seater and a bookcase. And some bedding for the dogs. The bookcase has nothing on it. In the far corner an austere bare tungsten bulb, on a dimmer. Anything more would be insanity. No wall art. Pared back. I don't think it looks like poverty. More like clarity. I think I naturally lean towards being a clutterbug. Bear in mind the quote, about buying things we don't need to impress people we don't like. I've no plans for the summer. I think plans are a hindrance. 'oh I have prior arrangements' Mostly I want to keep clearing the house and do the paint jobs. A lot of it is prepping. Not playing with a full deck of cards I guess but trying my best. All in all, things are going well. / / / iolfree@icloud.com
