Living in a box

My living arrangements here in the UK are simple. I'm living in a box.

Going by self-length measurements, it measures about 18' by 16'. There is a cut out for the bathroom, probably reducing the size of the box by 4' by 6'. The bathroom extends past the edge of the box in one dimension, so it's probably 6' square in total.

In this 300 square foot area (including the bathroom), I have:

A double bed
A single bed
A small kitchen with sink, tabletop oven/two-hob cooker, half-height fridge freezer, and assorted cooking equipment
A wardrobe
A small circular table
An armchair and sofa (2 person)
A chest of drawers with small flatscreen TV
A desk and chair, from whence I am typing this
A toilet, sink and shower in the bathroom.

That's it. Oh, no - I also have my borrowed bicycle, and one of my wife's hairclips - all I have left to remember her by (sniff).

This feels *spacious*. I am content.
