sofas

a friend threw out this sofa. it’s not clear whether he threw it out because of the spring situation, or whether the spring situation is as a result of the throwing out. i didn’t ask.

i remember hearing a talk in a church once about a child who kept shouting at his sofa at home, calling it a ‘damn settee’. his mum told him off and asked him what he was doing.
“but we learnt it at church in a song. it went ‘i am the lord of the damn settee'”.
so here is a holy settee:

and here are its beautiful dangly tassels and a daisy:

i looked out of my office window and spotted this sofa and chair. they looked quite luxurious and plush from a distance, and were even better up close.
look at those little tassles shielding our eyes from having to see anything so vulgar as sofa legs.

note the proximity to the secret door …

and from this angle you can see my office window (negativised for fun – doesn’t the sofa look nice like this)
