I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Chaucer's stairs




Obviously these stairs don't really date from the 14th century; at least I don't think so.

The friends who saw me take a nasty tumble a couple of weeks ago because of some broken 21st century pavement in Berkeley will probably be relieved to know that I do not have to drag my klutzy self up that spiral staircase—with the rope handrail!—to get to my room.

That's my door in the picture, and the staircase I take from the ground floor is old but wide, and has actual metal handrails on both sides. Which I use.
