The Friday Five and News
Mar. 21st, 2022 08:48 pm1. What does the outside of your house look like?
The house I live in now is a two story house. Looking at it from the front, there are two parking spots, the back of which is a short length of concrete stairs going up from the left of the building. The wall to the left of the stairs is covered in ivy, above which is our school sign, red background with a yellow cartoon bird on the right of the words "Mockingbird English School" in white. Above the stairs, on the landing is a small deck with flowers on the right and a stand with a screen/phone on the left behind a side advertising flag for "English Classes Here." Behind these are two white doors, matching the color of the building. The entrance facing the street on the left is for our school, the entrance on the right is for the landowner's piano school.
Back down the stairs and across the parking spaces, the right side of the building, is a small gate that opens on to another set of concrete stairs with a small garden around it on the top level. On the left is an orange tree, which bears the most sour of oranges - so sour, I really don't know when they are actually deemed ripe. The oranges stayed on the tree for at least 3 months before hubby cut them off. Next to it further inside is a blueberry tree that is starting to blossom. On the right is a scattered bunch of plants and trees, none in bloom at the moment except for a single yellow daffodil in the middle of the patch of soil. To the right at the top of the stairs is our heavy wooden front door, protected from the rain by an archway.
2. Which room do you spend the least time in?
Julian's room. I go in there to find clothes in his closets, and pop in to tell him dinner is ready, but that's about it.
Next is Alex's room, where I follow Hana into every other day. It is part of her little routine to go to the toilet to jump on and off Alex's bed and it goes better if I chase her :D
Next is Audrey's room, where I sometimes climb into her bed if I can't sleep.
I guess the bathroom goes here somewhere :P
Next is my own bedroom, where I only go at night, usually, since hubby is usually in there doing his own thing.
3. Which room do you spend the most time in?
The living/dining/kitchen area. I do everything there during the day.
4. Is your home in a convenient location?
It is. I used to live up the hill and it was quite inconvenient without a car because of the hill. Now I live only a few minutes from the station, and even closer to the supermarket. I am at the bottom of the hill so I can lug my shopping home on foot, and there are parks close by in 3 directions.
5. What is the color of your front door?
We have a medium brown wooden door.
