Well, I live in an unusual house.

My house was a lighthouse thirty years ago.

We have two bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet � everything a house needs.

All the walls are round, so it's difficult to get furniture.

My father is a carpenter, he made all the furniture himself.
I helped, of course.

We had a garden, but we decided not to grow anyting anymore, because all the plants died.

I have my own room right at the top.

My brother had his on the first floor.

Usually we travel everywhere by boat, but this week we're cycling.
