It's Rent Free and provides Woodland Relief

Jim is a kind employer and for six hours of work he lets me stay in this wonderful home. Mind you this is every week! I keep offering to do more.

After visiting a friends home I simply had to post this. It is my ever so humble abode. Sandra, eat your heart out! The house overlooks the Dungeness river, and sometimes the kind river even washes the floor for me. Free landscape revisions are a yearly joy! Life is GRAND!



Imagine my surprise, when my date complained about the bathroom It is a one seater and even has a clever urinal attachment. I find it very functional and provides woodland relief. Once in awhile I catch a sneaky fisherman using my facilities, but usually they put the toilet roll flat on the shelf again. I appreciate that!

The assumption that I don’t know how to treat a lady still weighs heavily on me. Just a pond away is my bathtub. I take a plunge in it every month, even if I don’t need to. Did you know that there is a new pedicure treatment. Some chinese fish in a tub. You stick your feet in and they nibble all the dead flesh away. It is supposed to tickle. What Pikers! You should check out the action when those trout start nibbling at your toes, or whatever might dangle.

As Rex is rather skunky himself I find this works out really well. Rex was Jim’s dog. He was a very good dog. He was deaf, so he never listened or obayed. He had cataracts in his old age, but he always did his duty. Being underfoot!

It was a sad day when Jim planted him near the pond, but he has a very nice hand carved memorial, made by Jim.

and so it flows.
