The landlord has let us know they will be increasing the weekly rent by $15. After viewing a daggy* house for rent yesterday, that is $130 cheaper than the current weekly sum, I have renewed appreciation for the relative grandeur of a current dwelling.
The above is tile from the backroom fireplace.
*Daggy – Australian origin.
adj. not stylish, out of fashion, not trendy, not cool, untidy, unclean, not neat.

Not the kind of news you want… grrr
I always appreciate learning the words, even under sad circumstances.
I love that “relative grandeur”. How much sadder to be forced to settle for less than the relative grandeur. By the way, thank you for liking my “Labor Day.”
