This house needs a bean bag

Sometimes I want to lie by the fire. There's a rug, but it's not in any way squishy. Sometimes I want to lie on the floor in the middle room where the big speakers are and make the most of what I am reliably informed is called the 'sound stage'. There's no rug, just a paltry collection of cushions. (And a rug wouldn't work in there, because we wheel bikes through it every morning).

What we need is a bean bag. Portable, comfy, adolescent. I had a bean bag in my life from age 10ish to age 30-odd. I revised for my A-levels on a bean bag. I wrote my university essays on a bean bag. I had my late 20s crisis on a bean bag. What am I doing without a bean bag in my life now?
