This blog brought to you from...

HERE



(clicking on each separate image enlarges it)

My design, with GH's helpful opinions and crafted by GH's father (who is not a carpenter but retired from a desk job).

All this is about to be dismantled and hauled to the new place... I wish I could just beam it there.

Hey D,

I posted a comment but it's gone! Gone where? Where's it gone? I need to know.

I'll post it again. I was ruminating on the thought that those rooms seem to be suspended in some type of black dimensional vortex and wondered if it was because there was not enough ordinary room in your house. I then wondered if your house was larger on the inside than on the outside, similar to Dr Who's Tardis. Then I asked if you received Dr Who in Portugal. Will your new house have black vortex rooms?

Just asking everyday questions...

dan: You got me there.
Well, I confess. We're actually evil aliens from another dimension, our apartment is actually an interdimensional gateway hence the black vortex areas. Now we need to move in order to have a bigger gateway, one that can allow the invading fleet in, but worry not, given the bad quality of nearly all of the planet's rulers the invasion will probably improve things around here. Haven't seen your missing comment either in this or in our native dimension though, guess blogger is loosing comments again, hope nobody else's comments got missing too.

I like it. It's the type of thing I could clutter up. I'd hate to dismantle it though...

Yes, moving house is both exciting and traumatic at the same time!!!
Beam it all up Scottie!

Darn. I had a witty scifi-outer-space comment ready but it looks like just about everybody else beat me to it.

For whatever you post next, I call dibs on the scifi perspective.

(do they recognize the legal finality of 'dibs' in Portugal?\)

nyasha: There is no deadline. No stress there, the old place is not sold yet. I've already came across several things that brought back memories though...
I've got to check back in your photoblog then, those faucets really got me curious.

NML: It is half empty in the photo, but the cluttering can still be seen ;)

cream: It was supposed to be mostly a working space... but it often becomes a recreation area. :)

chill daddy: You can call dibs on the next sci-fi comment, but how on Earth are you getting the other readers to respect your call? Dibs in Portugal? Let us put it this way, imagine you call dibs on the best chair to watch a football game: if you're not fast enough someone else will sit there just the same, if you ARE fast enough but then you get up to look for the tv remote or to get a cold beer from the fridge someone else will take your sit. That's pretty much how far dibs will take you around this parts...

tall glass: Funny you should say that. I just went out to buy something today, something I already have, but that is now packed somewhere in one of the boxes with no inventory. YES, some boxes have inventory, but not all of them.

zebigleb: Welcome and thank you for the feedback!

D,

Speaking of vortexes I've generally found them to be troublesome things and they can get into a hell of a mess. Bits stuck in the carpet, down the back of sofas. They're a bugger to keep tidy as well. Plus it's important to keep the flies out, jeeze a fly got into an old vortex of mine a couple of years ago, came back two days later with sideburns and a t-shirt with FUCK YOU! printed on the front. Man, that fly had attitude, it smoked roll ups drank my beer and never cleared up. Vomit was everywhere, bloody stuff dissolved my tv and that proved to be the last straw. Got rid of the fly (it got a college place somewhere) and the vortex. Never have another one, they're more trouble than they're worth.

That's just beautiful woodworking, and I cannot believe an amateur carpenter crafted them... and a geolgist designed them!

I know the feeling of wanting to beam stuff when you move. It's one of life's biggest hassles!

dan: A college place somewhere? I bet one of these days that fly goes into politics!

GG: The shining pot will soon be back on this blog… hopefully stewing something tasty! ;)

Kris: Actually the chemist drawed them (me that is) with some aid of the geologist (GH). Guess if I were moving to paradise I wouldn't mind hauling it twice... (yup, thinking about your little place of the planet).
