I'll never understand the thing where folks keep their blinds closed all the time, which reminds me of my grandmother's old lady consort, who'd sit ensconced in ugly chairs like sea anemones in dark dusty rooms with their heavy velvet curtains drawn tight to fend off who knows what, like they were in witness protection.

Rooms need a little ultraviolet to thrive.

@rakontisto keeps the sun from making things fade!!!
But I *miss* lockdown when my "office" wasin my house with a window facing the street and ... people walked by and things! Arrangement meant they weren't lookin' in my window unless they really worked at it.
@geonz My big issue lately is that I have this giant vintage poster for Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak over my desk at home and I have this vague thought that, even without direct sun touching it, it's going to fade, but I think I'd be happiest if I could just move where it is so I need not worry.
@rakontisto I have a Major Life Goal ... to get to where I actually put that Pete Seeger Poster from Padre Tomas' giveaways when he passed **on my actual wall.**
Hey! A new kind of resolution: GET THAT DONE BEFORE THENEW YEAR.
