Bloganuary Day 20 – only 11 days to go…
Today’s Prompt: What irritates you about the home you live in?
I am going to change this around and talk about what I love about the home I live in as I don’t enjoy focusing on the negative. There will always be things that I want to change about my home but that will be because I have gotten bored with seeing the same things in the same places to I will switch it up for a change in scenery. I also find that moving things around often changes the energy of the space.
So what do a I love about my home? Well I love that I have a home and that I get to share it with my son every day. I love that I have stairs as I always wanted a double storey home when I was a kid. I try and make sure that I run up the stairs a few times a day when I need to fetch something as my home is very small so it helps me get a little bit of exercise in every day.
I love my little garden out back although I have been neglecting it of late due to the influx of mozzies. They have my ankles for dinner! I love that I do have my own little patch of grass to ground myself on and space for my table and benches so that I can sit and watch the butterflies flitter and flutter about and watch the kittens chase each other. I find it very calming and peaceful even though there is a bust main road very close by.
I do need to give my home a complete overhaul as right now it is in complete disarray. I am constantly amazed at how I can get rid of an item of furniture and somehow, just somehow, I manage fill up that space with stuff before I can get to replace that furniture with a new piece. So, as I said, now I just have give every space a complete overhaul so that it looks pretty and has utility.
I live in a complex, from the car park, one has great views of the west of Durban, especially the beautiful sunsets. I’ll leave you with a pic of one that I took earlier this week.
So that’s it for today. Thanks for dropping by. Bye for now.

I grew up in a two storey home when I was young – we moved to another apartment in the summer before my last year of high school because my parents felt that the neighborhood was turning into something they didn’t like, and my baby brother was associating with some kids they didn’t like – so they moved to a better neighborhood and a flat. Perhaps it’s for the best since they’re now in their mid to late seventies and stairs may be harder for them to navigate.
When I moved to the US for a few years, my first apartment was what Americans call a “town house” which is a two storey apartment. I had a small living room and tiny kitchen downstairs, then a tiny bathroom and a big bedroom upstairs. I think I could’ve rented a bigger apartment for the same price, but I felt as though the stairs thing was so cool…

I live in a two storey apartment with the tiny kitchen etc. the only difference is that I don’t have a big bedroom which sucks but my next house will definitely have a big bedroom 🙂
