Shedworking's literary editor Sarah Salway has been in sunny Grinnell, Iowa, this summer and here is the first in a two-parter of shedlike atmospheres from her trip (the second is tomorrow). "I was very excited to see this tomb in the exact shape of a garden shed," she writes. "But look what I saw when I went round the back. A satellite dish - how weird is that? I keep thinking all sorts of scenarios - the wife moving in when her husband dies and needs some home comforts, a dying wish to finally get through all the back episodes of Sopranos, etc."
that is totally american bizarre isn't it? Maybe it belongs to the David Lynch family.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you aren't bringing us any Spanish sheds!
In the Philippines where I come from, it is a custom to visit the cemetery a few times each month (we used to do it every Sunday afternoon). There you will see grave structures with bathroom, kitchen and water pump.
ReplyDeleteI was going to be cremated (like a viking sheddie on a burning shed floating in the river Taff) when I reach the big shed in the sky.
ReplyDeletebut I hope my days now end in something like this.
Quite peculiar, yet funny at the same time...
ReplyDeleteA little creepy. ;-)
