i have achieved new housemate and she smells much better than the old one!

No, seriously, I'd forgotten what it was like to live with a woman - they smell nice when they're not drinking all the time. I came home and there were flowers on the air!

Anyway, so far, so good. We're both in the living room on our computers with headphones in. And the dog is settled down, a little confused at what the hell is going on but still, not bad.

I think this is gonna be good.

oh, and PS (a bit belated) thank you darling entrenous88!!
