Grey days

The weather here in England is APPALLING. I have a cold. A cold! And it’s August. Grey days make me tired & miserable so it’s a good job I’m off out tonight with Alex to eat 40% off sushi and see Inglorius Basterds at Broadway Cinema with orange wednesday.

It’s no coincidence that both those things are being done on the cheap, as recently pretty much all my pennies have been going on house stuff. Including, no less, a Henry Hoover (they had no Hetty’s, I was sad) and a router so that I actually have wireless internet in my house. It’s been so long without it (a year) that I’d forgotten what a luxuery it actually is to browse ebay from your bed, or listen to spotify whilst tidying your room (OK, that’s something I’d never actually managed before as spotify is a fairly new invention, at least to my knowledge). There’s also been kitchen thing purchasing, huge food shops – despite going into our third year of living together, this is the first year we’ve lived entirely on our own and so we went a bit mad in Tesco buying ice cream and wine and pretending to be grown-ups* – and lots & lots of cleaning equipment. There’s still a long way to go before the house actually feels like ours, but we’re getting there. I’m hoping to get down to some good ol’ crafty business once the cleaning is done and provide us with blankets, cushions and more. It’s amazing having our own space at last, although it has resulted in slightly demented behaviour like pretending to be an ant and discussing the possibility of turning our dining room table into a pirate ship.

I’m also looking for some prints to put up in our lounge/dining area but Etsy is being very uncharacteristically barren of inspiration for me. Any reccomendations anyone?

* Sssh, no one tell us we ARE grown-ups….
