My Fantasy Life

It's all on here. This is exactly how I imagine my life to be - of course it isn't - but we can all dream. I like the way they make  a half dereclict and undecorated room look really glam and stylish - when in reality it's actually quite shit, I should know.

They love Leica cameras almost as much as I do. I can never afford one, and frankly I could never see myself being able to justify the cost - but I still want one. I went into a gallery on Norman Road about a year ago - they are closed now - but I bought a couple of cards and an artists tea-towel. The girl was fiddling around with the card reader and I noticed she has a Leica digital camera on the counter - she saw that I'd clocked it - and without any attempt at tact or discretion - grabbed it, put it into a draw and locked it.

I wanted to punch her really hard, but she was wearing glasses - and that would be wrong.

Damn it. I've been looking for pencil pots for the tables in my classroom and you've provided me with the solution - Tate & Lyle Treacle pots. Where can I get six of these in one go?

don't the school dinners people use stuff like that - catering size?

I have barely done a thing since you put the link to this blog up. I've just been salivating over picture after picture and then, when you think you're reaching the bottom, it loads even more. Lovely stuff.
