Jonesy is convinced that

— the floor lamp’s shade needs adjusting,
— the photos on the mantle should be elsewhere,
— my mouse* could be on the floor,
— framed artwork doesn’t need to be level (or on the wall for that matter), and
— the TV could almost certainly be flat on the floor.

Cat-proofing the house continues, more than a year into Ripley & Jonesy’s tenure. (I don’t recall going through any of this 20+ years ago with Pica.)

*he’s already destroyed one Magic Mouse
