it could be longer if you use the back of the sofa as one edge.

i used to do that with bunk beds, and put a quilt under the mattress on the top

so it covered the bottom half like a room

grateful for the cubby advice.

no bunk bed, but loves the sound of it!

heed Snailrind's advice and at it to the two chairs scenario.

done that with bunk beds too.

a longer cubby means you can lie down in it, or invite a second person in for a cuppa or to be eaten.

that's true snailrind. Cup of tea?

there will be all sorts of hidden treasures, mostlyhermetic. What's that I see?! A snuffleupagus!

if there is a bunyip in there.

yes, I'm pretty sure all snuffleupaguses are invisible.

listening to the roar of the bunyip. It's eating chocolate marshmallows.

of course. I wonder if one will turn up?

the idea of a box bed. I wish I had one of those.

for sure she'd get caught in it as it sprang dangerously back into the wall.

as for Big Bird, he has to contend with the fact that no one believed him about Snuffleupagus. I doubt he'd have that problem here.

the idea of a Snuffleupagus.

Mr Snuffleupagus and has not and will not ever grow out of him.

ooh, we had box beds in Wales too.

this is why I want to visit Wales. Not to visit where my Dad was born, but to sleep in a box bed. Priorities people.

living in an 18th Century farmhouse for a while, and had a lovely double box bed up under the roof.

to play.

come on in, LG. Cup of tea?

handing you a little purple plastic teacup with a yellow daisy on the side.

walking by plurk and noticed your sweet presence. Of course there is!

handing Slattern a cupcake and a tall glass of milk.

oh thank you kindly. Always wanted to meet you both.

if you bought something too? Some marbles perhaps?

some lovely multicoloured dice in many different shapes. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20-sided.

originally each dice was its own colour, but just now when he rolled them the colours all got mixed up.

I do too! *ahem* I mean, I know what of which you speak (D20).

rolling her dice to see if they do a funky rainbow thing like Lemongrass' die.

oohh! Slattern brought bikkies!

some pretty flowerpots that could do with watering.

om nom nom and remembers he's got a box of florentines.

thrilled.

started laying out the rainbow-festooned picnic blanket and putting the custard tarts on plastic orange plates.
