RIP

Sheri Tepper has left us. A sadly overlooked writer, much of her writing is out of print, but she will repay hunting for and reading her books. Probably my favorite of hers is The Gate to Women's Country but the one that stuck in my head the most is Grass, which is both creepy and mind-blowing. There's lots more. Check her out.

She also wrote mysteries under two pseudonyms: A.J. Orde, about a rare book dealer (male); and B.J. Oliphant, about a retired FBI analyst (female). I especially like the Oliphant books.

Edward Albee

Shed Update

Six, count 'em: six pictures!

 Just added these panels to the front of the deck. Trying to unrustify the shed a bit. I think this works.

 So there's the big piece of the tansu with the TV in it. You can see the small tansu piece is the rear by the window.'

 This is the glass desk you see right as you walk in, but it's so covered in papers that I'm working on getting filed, you can't tell it's glass. Behind it are the bookshelves.

 Just left of the door, and facing the tansu/tv is the blue couch, which now has a twin bed behind it in the corner by the windows. The couch is going to be replaced with a couple of chairs (one a recliner) that will be less visually massive.

 Standing by the couch/door and looking diagonally across, you can see the desk, tansu, cabinet, fridge, small tansu at window.

The "kitchen," which contains a Breville Oven, pots/pans on pegboard, a very small dish drainer (from the RV), shopping totes on pegboard, slop pail. If I get something really messy when cooking or eating, I just haul it over to the big house for serious washing.

So that's the outside with deck and panels. And the inside, which has been newly arranged into the current configuration (who knows how long it'll stay that way). I'll take more pics  when I get everything filed and lots of stuff sorted and put away up in the loft.
