My Ideal Home
 * My house is a modern boat house in a tree. No, it is not a tree house. I couldn’t decide between a tree house and a boat house so I mixed them together. After all this is just a writing piece about a fantasy home. In a forest in the Amazon, far, far away from the city. I love the smell of the forest after a shower of rain. I love the beautiful landscape, of the mountains and trees. That can only be seen in pictures and paintings or on television. I like the sounds of the birds during the day and the wind at night. **
 * There are three rooms in the house. In the kitchen there is a stove, sink, fridge and a few cupboards for storing food. I don’t need a dish washing machine, for I can wash the dishes by hands. The cupboards are yellow amongst the sky blue walls in a room with white appliances. My little kitchen is like a bright summer sky filled with pale blues, Yellows and white, reflecting the colours of the sun and clouds against a blue backdrop. **
 * My aqua tiled bathroom has a shower against the far wall, separated by a black painted glass that slides. In the other corner there is a toilet. In between the shower and the toilet there is a sink that sits right in the middle of a red tiled ledge that is around 150cm long. Above the ledge, on the wall there is a cupboard that has mirror instead of a wooden door. To let some fresh air through, on the ceiling there is a window that open out to let the air in. **
 * The last room is the main room and it is also the biggest room. When you climb the ladder up the tree and onto the boat, this will be the first room you see when you step through the door. This room is white like the clouds in the clouds in the sky. In the left corner under the window is my bed. My wardrobe made from ebony lies at the foot of my bed against the wall. Under another window in front of the door, are a table and a chair. To the right of the table is a shelf full of books. There are fiction books, non-fiction books and writing books on the shelf. On the table are a radio and some pens, pencils and erasers. At the centre of the room there is a couch and a small television. **
 * In the day I would get on with my life like a normal person. But in the night you won’t find me in bed sleeping, nor will you find me in the kitchen cooking dinner. For I will be on the deck. Gazing up into the sky as the stars shine and the moon glows. **
 * My house might kind of be simple from top to bottom, but I can’t live without a television. **
