Desk

Four days after our arrival, with no furniture to speak of, Lily and I were walking through a steady rain (it always rains here) after signing me up for Deutchkurs A-1 (sprechen like a child), when lily turned and saw a bunch of furniture chucked in an alley.

"OOH, DESK..."

We were ten blocks from home... all uphill... (did I mention it was raining)... but lily's got that superhuman strength that says "we ain't payin' for shit!"



Puddles aside, it was in surprisingly good shape.




It's amazing what a little sandpaper and olive oil can do.





Poetry gods shining through the downpour.
