On the roof! (Tales from the SSC&B)

The red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse) had signalled to the lovely Bartender at the Six-Sentence-Café-and-Bistro, as she held up one finger and smiled; she knew she had enough for today, but what a lovely day she had.

Such a beautiful walk by the river with Hūnga and the tall, thin man; la Raconteuse would fling a nice stick to Hūnga, and Hūnga would bring it back; he would drop the stick by her feet, then sit on his hunches while looking up to her and woofing.

It seemed that Hūnga was grinning back too, since la Raconteuse had been flaunting a new red hat, and rather startling too; indeed, the tall, thin man was also wearing a cap, and why not? although he would remove it before walking into the Six-Sentence-Café-and-Bistro.

Then, la Raconteuse started to grin again as she thought about that big cardboard box; it turned out that there were various useful things, and nothing worrying in it at all, in fact, when they came back, that big box had gone, and new things had been put into places.

She mused as she looked around, all those pretty vases which held sprouting bulbs now, they are going to be daffodils she had been told, how lovely, and there was one on every table.

But even better Tom had been up to the flat roof, it was where la Raconteuse used to write there, but now Tom had repurposed the place – it’s going to be a productive garden.

  5. roof-top garden! excellent use of the space (which if you recall, is access up an interior staircase that ‘continues past the roof’ in the form of a square brick structure (pretty much the size of the stairwell plus room along the sides with their old windows)

    the roof is sand/small gravel (over tar) and flat. there are a number of skylight structure at various points. sooty glass in bronze and copper framing

    and, of course, a water supply and electric power

  16. Nothing like tasting a chilled, tropical tasting libation from the Bartender after a fabulous afternoon! La Raconteuse often spent time writing on the rooftop. Now, she’ll be surrounded by lovely flora as she writes.

  20. Interesting about productive gardens… I’ve seen some city roof tops that actually housed units for bees! And some flat roofs that don’t have solar on them, have slow growing non-edible greens to help with insolation!

    Cheers!
