Hmph. Do you ever sleep Stefan? Sometimes I worry about you.

But it's fun to dream... could tell my son- "Your room is over there-" "But
there's no door!" "Ah! But if there is no door, then it cannot be closed to
you! Meditate upon this, my padwan learner..."  (Yes, I am an EEEVIL mommy)

Extra rooms. I want a library/workroom. Bookcases all around, large work
areas, some of those tall library tables with the footrail, a fireplace,
leather furniture (the kind with the brass tacked edges) and a dangerously
dashing man with a moustache sitting in the wing chair with one eyebrow
raised, as if to say "While you're up, will you get me a cuppa too?"

Only twice, and that was because I'd loaned them out, went back for them
and thought Oh! I guess I don't have a copy! and then later... now when I
can't find something, I have to ask Edouard "Hey! Do you have my
Backhouse?" which he does... and my Brown, and several other of my books...
It's ok. I know where he lives. ;-)
