Autumn wins you best by this, it's mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

i haven't wrote in a while.
i was in pennys/primark last week, it was probably thursday, i brought back a dress that i bought for €13 last month or so. i didn't have my receipt so i couldn't get my money back, which was no big deal. so in it's place i got two skirts, a top, and a dress. both of the skirts were body cons, one with silver zips across it (€3), and the other was nearly like a sequenced rainbow (€5). the top is lilac with winged sleeves and some crochet detail over the neck (€5). and the dress is striped black and white with a tie string waist and slouchy pockets (€3). i've seen some other really nice stuff in there, i'm not going to pay €61 for a jersey boyfriend blazer from topshop when i can get pretty much the exact one in a different colour for €13. the quality is just as good, and it would last just as long. even down to the little things like tweezers, socks, make up bags, belts. i wouldn't have half the wardrobe i do without it. and i will not stop shopping there. ever.

i found the new iD magazine today in Eason's in blanch and had a quick peek through it. props to Alasdair McLellan for the sick pictures.



i went to IKEA today for the first time since it opened, one word: awesome. and cheap. and very busy. there were picture frames, lamps, rugs, candles, STORAGE BOXES (which i have loved forever, for some unknown reason) and all sorts really, for pretty much a fiver or less. the furniture seems like super good quality for the price of it. they had this really nice creme iron bed for €120, excluding the mattress. but still.

for the bank holiday weekend my baby and i went down to leitrim to meet his dad. he has a boat down there so he invited us to join him. we met him down there about 9 on saturday night. we went to a pub called carthy's and had some drinks. we went to the chipper afterwards where we got a "portion" of battered sausages (2), colly, and a bag of chips. he looked after us. we "sailed" to some other town and had a look around some nik nak shops. we didn't buy anything, but we saw canvas's and some shitty paint. which we were supposed to get a couple of weeks ago now. but haven't had the money, or just haven't got around to it. we were supposed to paint each other pictures. i'm sure we will soon. heather and sean came down on the sunday evening and we pretty much done the same thing we did the night before. there was lots of sing alongs and games of pool. i had fun.

anyway i plan to buy 5 disposable cameras from the 2euro store on friday, or whenever i get a chance. i also definitely plan to buy film for mr. holga. and to use and abuse mr. holga.

goodnight, cruel world.
