yellow balloons and liberated bean bags - a true story

There is much fun to have with a helium balloon, which I found out when my star sister came over to celebrate her birthday. She brought me a present. Two bright yellow plastic containers to house my (still growing) tape collection. And the timing couldn’t have been better because earlier on that week there had been a rather heartbreaking taping over incident that could have been prevented had such a organisational tape shelf thing been in my possession. We had a lovely day, chatting, napping and consuming copious amounts of chocolate chip products. Listening to new favourite albums (shared) together.

So when the rained finally stopped, I walked up the street and saw this.


They look like the things you use to fill bean bags. I remember getting into massive trouble as a kid for deciding to liberate the beans from my Seasame Street bean bag one afternoon onto the loungeroom floor. I’m sure my sister actively encouraged it. But I thought what if they were suffocating in there? Getting squashed all the time?

I’m super crazy about the Saboteurs new album, (especially track 2, which is incredible!) choc peppermint cupcakes from Cupcakes on Pitt even though they’ve been downsized substantially so you actually need to eat two to get the same effect. And loving a bit of Lula mag. I love it so much I don’t want to cut it up. At least for now.


This fashion story is the cutest. The girl has a very Alice in Wonderland quality about her. And I love the hot pink. It makes me want to wear black less. They’re starting to call me emo at work.


The boy came home today after three weeks away which was great cos I was beginning to really miss him. As promised I made muffins and had them ready at the airport. Three different types! Blueberry, double choc and these banana walnut and honey ones. I got presents! From a very rumpled but festive white and red striped paper bag came two very beautiful matchboxes from a gallery in Glasgow. The tips of the matches are pink and the fire friction bit – covered in sand. So cool! But getting up before 5am makes a girl very tired so it’s to bed, with tomorrow’s essay printed and stapled and ready to hand in. Sweet dreams for sure.
