Not sure about this though

Thanks so much John! Still plenty to do, but it is beginning to feel home like! We’ve got all the lights running now (through the generator at the minute unfortunately but still) and he’s hoping to get al our sockets and things in use too. Still no further forward with the plumbers coming out to finish their side though. It was my partner’s 40th yesterday so I surprised her with an Orkney chair. Had the craftsman make it with Scottish burr oak and it is just a thing of beauty. Reckon it’s going to sit pretty nicely in there!

@rawspuds yeah me neither, it’s so changeable with weather, light and season that it’s never the same.

@skinny thank you! Haha that lack of pretentiousness just comes from having no money left and having to use what furniture we had brought from previous places 😂

@ketsbaia haha yes very much so, and @crossedthread is right, when nothing matters the world and all it’s possibilities open outside of the current social framework. Freedom and joy outside of the crushing death knell of capitalism, attempts and successes mean as much (or as little) as attempts and failures! You should also look into the ideas of passive and active nihilism, passive being allowing things to crumble and active being doing all you can to accelerate the death of meaning, theory and societal values/structures.. anyway, probably a different thread for that somewhere, here’s pictures of a hand crafted chair with about 150 hours of skilled work put in.
