After doing a full top-to-bottom house clean on Friday morning (I'm becoming my mother and googling how best to clean floors) I thought I would take a few quick photos to test the windows-as-lightboxes here.
As you can see, I was also stuffing my face with cookies that my friend, Jenna, got me as a housewarming present. Naturally.
I've been saving up for a couple of years to buy a computer with a bigger screen and I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to see all the photos that I'm editing because they are now bigger than postcards.
Another useful (?) present from Eddie and Shirin - sex dice. Thanks, guys!
I also finally, finally managed to finagle a reading corner in my room. The furniture is all Ikea (even the stuff we moved over from my parents' house) so it's fairly cheap, light and pretty easy to take care of. Shlomo Finkelstein came along with me.
And the new hipster lights I bought from Balestier, the sultan of all neighbourhoods when it comes to lighting. They were on a 40 per cent discount and I thought they would go nicely with that one cucumber green wall in the corner.
One last bit of nonsense: I am growing very fond of my furniture. Every day, I say good morning and goodnight to it and before I leave for work, I give it a pep talk. ["Come on guys! Be brave! And make yourselves unappealing to cockroaches!"]
The person that I knew would understand this was Amanda. Even though she's miles away in Perth, chasing her dreams, she immediately agreed that it was important to whip the furniture into shape and told me that hers, being veteran fixtures, were already well-primed to resist intruders.
"Don't worry, Bff," she texted, "Just keep talking to yours and they'll become experienced very quickly."
So far, it seems to be working.
