The joys of central heating and mantle pieces

How nice to be in a house with ducted heating again! Right now I am lying on my belly on the floor of my new bedroom. I am being swallowed by my big, soft night gown, pillow underneath me and the highlight of the of this beautifully comfortable state is my socked feet resting on the heating duct. A glass of Jimmy and Coke rests on the floor by my side and I am scoffing down a packet of cooked jumbo taco shells dipped in salsa - mild. Kitty lies by my side, also swallowed by my night gown; big enough for two. She is enjoying the new room and ducted heating as much as I am. On the TV a Simpsons DVD plays - What a wonderful way to spend an evening!

This scene is very reminiscent of when I was a kid. Back in the days living at Wallan. I would spend many winter evenings in the company of beautiful Spot. Together we would lie on the floor talking about everything; a doona covering us with warm air blasting through it as the bottom of it rested on a vent. I am back in an old house with gorgeous high ceilings amd fantastically ugly carpets. On my bedroom door, like at my Wallan house, someone has carelessly stuck a sticker, a long time ago by the looks of it. This one reads, 'a hug a day keeps the blues away,' which I think is quite darling. The sticker on the door at the Wallan house read, 'Go ahead, make my day!' I am again in a room with a mantle and fireplace, in a house with about 3 chimneys. I love having a mantle in my room, I think it is quite darling and lovely.

I found the above piece of writing in my book this morning, I wrote it about a week ago and didn't get a chance to finish it because I was interrupted. But it's still a cute little piece, even if it doesn't lead anywhere except to cover how good ducted heating and mantle pieces are. It is a good time to stumble on such writing, it compliments my current mood. This morning, despite lacking breakfast, waking after 5 hours sleep and being slightly hung over, I am feeling wonderfully uplifted! Even when I unintentionally and I suppose habitually tried to bring myself down with negative thinking I wouldn't have any of it! 'Away with you negativity! Be gone!'
