A little bit of everything So if you're like me, and you've always liked peeping into other people's houses, you might enjoy this website - it's called normal room and it's basically a collection of pics people have uploaded, of their houses and I think it's meant to give you ideas with regards to interior decoration etc.

The person whose blog I got it off, said it was extremely addictive etc etc. It was interesting, but not as great as I expected it to be - but well, I still managed to spend half an hour on it!!

There was this one particular house in Germany (I think) that I quite liked. Still not quite my dream home (which really exists, by the way. In my head. I've been furnishing it since I was about ten years old. Pity I didn't document any of the zillion things I picked out for it...) but close enough - crisp, clean lines, comfy but contemporary furniture and clutter-free. If it had been my dream home, however, it would have had a lot more wood, the occassional colourful piece, a lot less white and more cream and it would have been cosier. One thing I've learnt from Eamon's house (I was thrilled to bits when I first met Eamon about 8 months back and realised how his name was spelt and pronounced - I had read countless novels set in Ireland where I'd come across the name, which fascinated me, but had had no idea as to it's pronunciation) is that open fires are brilliant provided you have a big enough living room. I love love love open fires - they're oh-so-romantic - but if it's in a room that's too small, it gives me a godawful headache).

There was a lot more I wanted to say, considering I've had a rather crap weekend - not something I really want to blog about, suffice it to say that I never thought I'd be right smack in the middle of a juvenile drama at the ripe old age of 29 - but I can't remember any of it at the moment. I've worked pretty much non-stop from 8.45am till now (4.45pm) and I'm ready to go home and curl up on the couch with a chilled glass of wine.  ¶ 12:13 pm
