Serendipity and Garage

Serendipity is when someone finds something that they weren't expecting to find. The word has been voted as one of the ten English words that were hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British translation company. However, due to its sociological use, the word has been exported into many other languages. In the simplest of word, it means "happy accident" or a "pleasant surprise". (Wikipedia)


The picture below is neither. Perhaps a different word is needed to describe such an arrangement as it certainly did happen by accident, but serves no useful purpose other than being an oddity.

Garage

I have spent sometime working on the garage. It was perhaps the dirtiest part of the house and I am sure still is; this being the nature of garages.

As you can see, the walls and ceiling are white emulsion, the down pipe is white gloss. A once hollow ceiling has been boarded in, but best of all, the floor has a coating of floor paint. The floor will no longer be a source of dust.

To finish off, a gloss black border has been painted around the edges of the wall.

The bench extends across the back, giving more work top space (currently piled with boxes of produce) and giving cover to the freezer and washing machines.

I am pleased with the result.

The current occupant is the car.
