On Going Into A House

I really enjoy A.A. Milne's humor in the first few paragraphs. He's putting off such a dry humor that I can really almost hear him saying. Living in a house, indeed, seems to be such a different feeling as opposed to living in a flat or town house or what have you. As I live in an apartment at the moment, I can really relate to having to deal with other tenants that are actually sharing the whole of the building with you. Having to adapt to all the various noises that one may hear throughout the course of a day is something that definitely takes patience. One always has to consider whether or not dealing with the noise whatever it may be is going to be tolerable. The thought of bothering somebody because of noise seems a bit petty to me most of the time anways. There are obviously times when one should be considerate in how they live when it's in such close proximity to lots of others. That's why living in a house has such a different feel. You can call it yours and yours alone.
