Winkum and Blinkum and Nod...

Sometimes a house talks to you. Sometimes it cries at the end of the day as it bemoans the weight it has to bear. It creaks and groans throughout the night as it gives back the fottfalls and burdens that have pounded it during the day. Sometimes, however, it just flirts:

"Hi there big guy," it says and it gives you a wink. "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?"

So it is with this house.
