Before I show you some photos I just would like to set one record straight: when I was telling yous about my mad boomerang shaped house I certainly wasn't crying 'poor me'! I like it, and it likes me. I am very far from the poverty line here and although modern places would be more into the 21C convenience-wise, thousands of people in Ireland live in old-fashioned hoosie-homes like this, both in rural areas and in older sections of any settlement/ village/town/city. We rented a similar place in the country for seven years while we were getting our own place- even the carpet here is the same as it except brown instead of blue, the girls were highly entertained!
Bah! I can't get these into the correct order...
 |
| Kitchen, nice size, bright, NO HEAT! |
 |
| Sunset over the yard- there's an old orchard beyond the shed, no access but lovely to look out on trees in the middle of town. |
 |
| Sitting room, less than 9foot wide so this photo is deceptive. Note the fab 1970s carpet and fireplace?! |
 |
| My Christmas cacti survived the move and are perfectly happy! |
 |
| Much MUCH more virulent shade of turquoise in reality! Raggedy Ann hides a huge carpet hote I kept tripping on... |
 |
| Upstairs landing- stairs not steep at all, but all very narrow. |
And there you have it- the wee boomerang hoosie!

There is much light anyway, and the kitchen looks really nice. And you do have a loo indoors as well! Enjoy your own little world.
Yours, yours and yours! I was worried about the outside loo, thnk goodness there is an inside one too! The girls will be missing you too, it's a new situation for all f you.
PS sockets. - husband is an electrician, and he says the 4 way extension leads are perfectly safe (buy fom a shop, not a market stall!) and you cn screw them to a wall, easily turning one cupboard socket to 4 wall sockets :-)
It's got character :). And besides, it's the living that makes it a home, not the carpets, and this one is all set to see you on the next steps of a new and wonderful journey.
