Over the past few weeks I have purchased a number of small items for "the flat"
This imagined place where I will live and be happy. I have not bought anything major because as I spend most of my time at S&F's there is nowhere to put it. And there are enough things of mine cluttering up their house as it is.
But I have just got a few small things that will make it feel more like home, and give me something to moan about having to dust.
The reason for this seemingly pointless activity is to move this place from being a dream into being a reality. Apparently this sort of behaviour works, so I am told.
So when we were coming back from Santorini I got a set of ceramic coasters featuring ancient greek lads and lasses being somewhat "energetic" shall we say. They will have to be hidden when sarah comes round.
The weekend that Mira was with us, I got a small brass compass in a very nice wooden box that will sit on a little shelf in the main room. I can see it in my head.
The next day when we were at Avebury I got a celtic patterned cotton throw to go over the big single bed sized bean bag that will go in the front room as a spare bed.
And on our way home from Barcelona I got a small ceramic bull figure, hand painted to look like it is covered in lots of shards of multicoloured tiles. That is going to go next to the compass.
It all makes it seem more real in my head.
Maybe it will be real in the realest sense of the word soon.
Well ya gotta have hope eh?
plans are cool
