Yes, I liked the setting (love me some rusty farm stuff) and it felt like a very 1950s kind of interpretation which is interesting in itself.

Such a weirdly tidy place!

I feel quite stupid for never once wondering ‘what if focaccia but SWEET??’ 😄

Ha, I buy souvenir tea towels for a friend every time I go away but I would never use them myself! I have a special set of 'demoted from my own kitchen' tea towels (mostly bought c.1995 ha ha) for holidays, then it doesn't matter if I leave one behind.

I also always take my own tea towels cos often places give you like, one for a fortnight.

Ha I had a friend who was obsessed with him when we were like, 16, so I've heard enough to last me a lifetime.
(I should put that on my list though, I love stuff about punk and assume he has many good stories about the Bromley Contingent.)

God, I LOVE books about the music industry. And music biogs/autobiogs, I don't care whose, every single one is fascinating. (Sometimes they make me wonder if I should listen to e.g. Guns 'n' Roses (thanks Duff McKagan) but a brief burst of 'November Rain' reassured me that wouldn't be necessary.)

We have about a dozen Beach Boys LPs in the stacks as well, some of which I've heard many times and others... not. I remember my dad using one of them to demonstrate stereo to me when I was REALLY little, but I dunno which one. Maybe I will have a Proustian moment.

You'd probably be amused/horrified by how much more I *know about* the Beatles than I have ever *listened* to them.

I enjoyed Abbey Road when we played it the other week. And I'm looking forward to The White Album, which I might actually have played before. Our copy of Sgt P has all the ephemera but I've never really looked at it.

I will eventually be able to have an opinion about this, as we have ... all the others I think. Oh no, wait, maybe not. Well, we've got the final five or so I think.

My worst thing, I am so shit at it, even simple games that have a tiny bit of platform in them (I'm looking at you, Lego Jurassic Park) I will fuck it up like fifty times and then abandon it in a huff.

Ha ha yeah don't ever go there. It's the Meta microblogging site. Kind of like Instagram's very annoying little sibling.

Well, I always think that until I go there. And then I feel like it's really not so bad here.
(Also it's interesting how Threads, for example, is terrible in a completely different way to Twitter/X.)

This is the way.

If Ollie doesn't shout 'are you OK?' from another room have I even got into a bath?

Yeah the red/blue looks much more 'Victorian' I think, the green is somehow more deco adjacent.

I was supposed to read Hard Times for my degree but we got out of it and I was dead chuffed. I finally read it c. 20 years later and was totally shocked by how much I enjoyed it, I think Dickens is weirdly both WILDLY POPULAR and somehow SECRETLY GOOD.

It's Meakin 'Solway', which also comes in a much more common and frankly blah red/blue colourway.

This is such a nice picture. You look very happy. 🥰

(Ollie's sister-in-law gave us a bunch of stuff in that pattern, it was her gran's. We sensibly said 'let's just use it, we have no emotional connection to it after all' and now it's our standard china and we buy new bits all the time and oops yes we are emotionally attached to it.)

I am now low-key obsessed obvs.
(It was dinner plates in this pattern that broke in transit btw, per our conversation about smashed pleasures.)

Yes, yes, I thought it would be. Hurrah!

Ha ha! Aspidistras or die. (I wish I could grow aspidistras, so Victorian, they don't care for central heating though. I had one when I was a student because it was freezing and they're fine with that.)
