Sleepy looking Polly.

Polly and Harry, looking vaguely disapproving.
Oh. Is it Friday again?
wanders off, looking for coffee…
There are much worse avatars one could pick than Rowlf the Dog. 😉
That Queen Anne Victorian is lovely! Though as a Californian (trained about the hazards of brick fronted buildings during earthquakes) I would feel weird about the brickwork.
That converted stable is neat, though I bet it’s a pain to heat/cool. I love the castle-ish one! (The good castle one, not Castle Grey Scale.) And oh, I *love* the former spy house! (I want a secret bathroom AND a secret wine cellar!)
I’m not really sure what to make of the Desert View Tower… can’t tell what’s there under all the shop stuff. You’re right… I was NOT prepared for the interior.
Hi kitties!
It is effed up, so effed up. A 6 year old should not be president!
Paris Stable: Give it back to the chevaux. That’s Paris for horsies.
Historical Landmark: Why yes! Yes I am. Thank you for noticing!
Too Much Tile: I don’t mean to be picky, but … pick a wall treatment, pick a pattern, pick a color, pick a finish, pick a texture, pick a style, pick a different home.
Flimsy Bridge: It should be over a tub, so you could bathe in Waters Under Troubled Bridge. I know, not my best.
