So, last night I ate some reheated stuff, unwisely (as I now discover) adding some mint and horseradish sauce from two pots which had been in the fridge far too long but seemed fine, will now throw away. Anyway, all I did was watch 'Love Actually' while kind of despising myself for it. I finally realised which bit was filmed outside the houses over the road - it's the bit where the male porn guy picks up his girlfriend before running down the steps, I distinctly recognised both front doors. Went to bed at 11.45 and read Wolf Hall for a short while before being disturbed by the very loud fireworks, but eventually fell asleep. Not a great night, but today filled with resolutions regarding improving my flat, being tidier, decluttering, repainting the hall and bedroom, sorting out my books etc etc.
A funny thing happened when Dorothy and Julian were shopping in Liberty's. They saw a lampshade for sale - Fornasetti, with the exact colours and design of my old curtains with soldiers on. I am very fond of these curtains, which hung in my room for a bit, but everyone else hates them. Totally camp. I think if they are Fornasetti, people will start warming to them. I know they are very old, sixties or seventies; but there is no designers name on the selvedge. Bad snap at top of post, but I have written about these before. I should point out that the background is actually white - it's just my rotten photograph.
