Time seems to be flying since I've been here. Last night I broke down and bought my staples: veggie burgers, oatmeal, frozen pizza, diet vanilla coke, avocados.
Pipsie and I had tortilla chips and guacamole. yummy yummy
and settled down to watch some tele.
There's a promise of more guacamole, brie cheese, french bread, and red wine called, 'Claret'. I thought that was a good name for a red wine. I've always liked the word claret.
I like Pipsie's flat, it has a lot of character and I'm pretty excited about all the things that we are going to be doing to it. She has some excellent ideas for redecorating. I can't wait to see it take shape.
We went out two nights ago with some people from the forum. It was nice. But even better was when we went home and went for a pint at Pandora's. Pandora's Pub is a completely beautiful place. Then we hopped in for fish and chips, and I got cheese (salt) pizza. The fact that it was really salty didn't stop me from eating it.
I've an odd fascination that is growing in architecture and furniture. Why hadn't I really noticed these things before? Antiques, wrought iron, (I've always loved wrought iron) But, old furniture and how its put together, and how functional it was.
We went to a little cemetary that looks like a park, and has nice benches and drew the other day. It was a perfectly lovely sunny day. Days here seem to start grey and gradually the clouds break.
I am finally getting in the mood to take pictures. I really have to be in the mood because I'll have to lug out Sabrina (my snotty tripod). I don't care how neatly she folds up, she's a pain in the arse.
There's an art store that we go to, that is just too tempting. It makes me want to do a million things. So, I've resolved to draw out the ideas/ the designs, and pick them up later. I want to finish all my old projects.
We've also been doing a bit of writing. It's been writing weather lately.
gotta run, almost out of time
