So many unknown. One bedroom places are an indictment on greed and backward thinking. Two bedrooms give more options and are more eco-friendly using less resources. One kitchen instead of two, less plumbing. Will read more of your work. You hit nail on head with this one. all the best for 2022. David in NZ

Thanks Belle, it’s from one of my own favourites, ‘Cast Aside’ which was inspired by a very early Sparks song called ‘High C’ and from which I borrowed the title
