Every room · Main floor
Round table, eight chairs, and the only room where all eight of you fit at once.
A round oak table that seats eight without anyone eating at a corner, and a sideboard with the tablecloths, candles and the spare leaf in it. This is the room families use as the office on a Monday: the fibre reaches it, the table is the right height, and the light is good until four.
Seats eight, extra leaf in the sideboard, best desk in the house
The rest of the house
Same house, same changeover morning, same habit of writing down the awkward part.
Main floor
A 1948 kitchen with a new gas range in it. No dishwasher, and we are not putting one in.
Main floor
The best room in the house from late April to October. No heat in it, so useless in January.
Main floor
Two singles that can be pushed together, main floor, next to the bathroom.
Up fourteen steep steps
A double under the roof, up a steep flight. Hot in July, and the one room we discount for.
Outside
One parking space off the alley, a fenced side yard, a fig tree that fruits in August.
