Lots of rain tonight. British-feeling rain: yellow-greenish.
Made me think of Jeremy Fisher, Lucy and her hankies,
Peter and his shrunken jacket ("quite new, with brass buttons")
and all of Potter's other muttering, slightly odd or timid, lonely creatures.
Humble, all of it. And warm.

Rationalist bentwood armchairs, 1930s-1940s






Rationalist multi-functional credenza, 1940s




A dear friend is in town that we haven't seen in years.
A philosopher and economist that's given to talking.
These rational, beautiful pieces would
accommodate hours of philo-econ/so-how-have-you-been speak.

Insomnia, anyone? Jeez-o-petes, I could use a doozy of a rest,

preferably in this bed, minus the pea I imagine is hidden in there somewhere.
