Sofa so good

My little sister called me last night to compliment me on my taste in sofas. Whilst that may seem a curious rational for a phone call, there is good reason behind it. My sister, you see, has just moved into a new home. It's a charming little place, and in order to help furnish it I donated a spare sofa I happened to have lying around. Yes, I've reached the point in my life where I have spare furniture. The suite I wanted for my flat came in three pieces, though I only wanted two, and consequently I had a two seater sofa left unused. As with many of these things, it proved surprisingly difficult to get rid off, so I'm glad it's finally found it's way to a good home.

If I felt a twinge of envy when Claire managed to move into her home before I in mine, the fact that she's now sitting on my sofa only compounds it. That said I'm extremely happy for her. Most of my brothers and sisters (there are many of us) have either now settled, or are in the process of doing so. I won't quite be the last, since I have another younger brother who's showing few signs of deciding exactly how to direct his life just yet. Still, I'm looking forward to joining them.

And to end on a completely unrelated note, please go have a look at this extraordinary picture. It's a shockwave file, so you'll need the necessary plugin, and it's also quite slow to download - however I do promise it's worth the wait. Quite remarkable in concept and execution.
