The house has begun to turn into an life-form of it's own. The spiders are returning for the summer, and the beehive/insect park in the chimney is spewing out more and more creatures. Two bees fell out of the fireplace this morning, and a few days ago we had a visit from an inch-and-a-half long European Hornet. In the bathroom, a number of mushrooms have mushroomed in the corners.
I can't understand the contemporary obsession with destroying these various living things. Personally, I am quite proud that the conditions in the house foster life and growth. And the place feels a lot more cosy. It is almost as if our home is itself an organism (here a more astute blogger would invoke Hegel or something about 'flat ontology').
