I managed a lie in, helped by the bleak and windy weather looming large outside. We were going to go out, but we decided against it. So we cracked on with projects including dyeing my hair. A couple of parcels arrived, both gifts for other people as it happens.
We've started to regularly watch grand designs both the UK and the Australian version lately. I find the fascinating, most don't have a happy outcome, they end up ruining the people doing it financially and sometimes marriages have collapsed under the strain. It is truly a case of be careful what you wish
for. The completed ones tend to be stunning, don't get me wrong, some you wonder why they even do it at all. They usually think they can do it cheaper than it actually costs. Perhaps because we've faced being homeless we need very little, and now we live in a small place, you realise that the bigger the place the more crap you fill it with. I could never live in a minimalist place, I love my collection of dolls and Halloween ephemera too much. And of course all my craft stuff!
