Simple and less simple joys
Wow, I’m excited for three separate reasons.
1. Pretty technology.
I’m going over to the White-side and getting a mac. I’ve been saving for a while and I’m told that they are more Gill-proof so here’s hoping that it won’t succumb to my magnetic technology-breaking powers. Watch this space for the bouncing when it arrives and the inevitable rants as I get use to the new system.
2. Stationery.
I’m not sure if this is just a girl thing, but I get pretty excited about stationery. Not just your regular A4 pad, though there is something particularly enjoyable about starting a fresh note book (like a New Year’s resolution only in a more tangible form), but coloured pens, funky notebooks and stickers. In an unexpected moment of pure genius a fellow flame-head bought me a wonderful cut out card which looks like the London skyline and a mammoth clicky pen. You know the ones I mean, where you chose a different colour and click it down. This one has 5. Wow. My afternoon has been so much more colourful!
3. The Weekend.
I’m going to see my sister this weekend. Our planned Friday evening consists of Stationery (see point 2) in the form of making cards, a glass of something, and some mindless TV. Saturday is going to consist of girlie shopping with one of the few people that I feel comfortable shopping with and is actually patient enough to bear it and then some more sisterly gossip. Then, back to London to move flat. Again.
