heheh that was unfortunate but hilarious to read (maybe your words intended so?). When I read Dickens (of which I am a bit saturated by now :P) and he describes the Victorian society of the London we can subtly see today, I always imagine someone else like you writing about our daily lives and our mundane but happy moments of it. Overall, I think we live in happy times!

That is high praise, Virginia. I shall hold it close to my heart and remember it when I am feeling blue 🙂 We do live in happier times. The Dickensian times cannot even bear thinking about. I am planning to re-read some of his tomes to re-read in the next few months 😉

I remember when I first visited his house, a proper Georgian building that even conserved the wooden window covers. I stared at his desk thinking “Damn it, Oliver Twist was produced in this tiny table”. When you write your next big novel think that his desk is no different than yours 😉

What if I’m already in love? 41 years now . . .
But, as far as balconies, most are too busy and cramped. The simplistic gray wicker furniture version (#6) is not bad but the chairs look uncomfortable. Hopefully, the greenery is plastic and not in need of any maintenance.
I do like the second one because guests could stand on the long bench and increase their chances of going over the railing since it would then barely come to the height of their knees. It makes for exciting and interesting evenings, especially if they’ve been drinking.

I like a lot of blossoming flowers on my balcony. It’s a lot of work, to care about it and you have to find somebody to care your flowers in your holiday, but I like it ….
