“A chintz sofa that had seen better days and a matching armchair took up most of the space. A standard lamp with a pink bockety shade that matched the pink roses in the wallpaper stood in the corner beside it. Opposite them, a narrow fireplace with chipped green tiles. A wooden china cabinet with a cracked pane of glass sat in one chimney alcove, another coffee table holding their stereo unit and TV sat in the other. A wooden sash window with white lace nets looked out over an overgrown back gar...den. The elderly lady who owned the house and lived downstairs allowed them to use it. It was south-facing and perfect for sunbathing.They had the upstairs flat in a large red-brick bay-windowed semi in Daneswell Road, close to Glasnevin Village. Shabby and old-fashioned as the flat was, they loved it. The rooms were big and airy and they had plenty of space compared to some of the matchboxes a couple of their friends lived in.
