We're grown up now I guess. If that even means anything. Dropped nearly a month's wages at IKEA, and now have all our own furniture for the first time. I'm commuting with the suited and booted herds every morning, and I've seen N grow into his new management role. It's ever such a subtle change, but I can see it. He feels older somehow, more...

So an update on real life, such as it is...
Moved into the new flat yesterday. It's 2 stops on the DLR from Canary Wharf, and I went exploring there this evening and got completely lost trying to get back to the DLR station. It's such a maze! Totally fascinating though, the whole energy of the place is so foreign to me, and yet not....

I like the space beneath Heron Quays DLR! (I'll be shooting it again soon now I have a ultra-wide for my SLR)
gregthespider:
Yeah, there are some cool underground stations I'd like to take photos of (e.g. Westminster) but London Underground make you pay for a permit, and the restrictions make it pointless (e.g. can't put images on internet). I thiink I can get away with it at Heron Quays (a few mins walk from Canary Wharf) as it appear to be a public underpass.
There were 8 girls in my house in my year at school when we left in 05. It's funny to think that 5 years on, we're all adults. 3 of us are married. We don't keep in touch. Some have disappeared into the ether.
I'm haunted recently by ghosts of my past, and a deep nostalgia for a time that never existed.

I know that feeling!

You should defo go, I saw them in July and they were fantastic, plus Union Chapel is a lovely venue.
Sometimes this is too much. Sensory overload.
Urban grime. Heels, skirts, shirts, beer, laughing. Open rubbish bags are picked over by rats. Music thuds from the bars. Traffic honks and screeches. It's so bright. Headlights, neon lights, streetlights. Noise and light is everywhere. Everything is moving. The air smells like fumes and puke. Loud. I want to fill myself up with this filth. Roll around...

I've been making lists today.
Things I did today:
]Wore my hubby's jeans to the supermarket
Planned our summer holiday
Planned an impossibly expensive holiday for when I win the lottery.
Remembered 2 things I'd forgotten at the shops as soon as I walked in my front door
Texted a friend who didn't text back.
Researched the impending move and got removals quotes.
Ate too...

Oh geez. more decisions.
So I have to get a new job - and i'm in the lucky position of having to make another choice. I've practically got an offer from another simillar one to what i'm doing now, except it's not a training contract (cos I failed exams recently), but it could turn into one further down the line. They've also offered to sponsor...

Photographs are smiles that last forever
Snowmen that can never melt away
Birthday celebrations caught in amber
Rescued from the vaults of yesterday
Faces that were once more dear than diamonds
Boys who kept you up until the dawn
Houses filled with bicycles and babies
Ghosts who left their shadows on the lawn
Then turn the page
And see the children grow
The adults age...

So a couple I know are just about to break up - they're in that difficult "we've pretty much decided to split up and move out, we just haven't said it yet" phase.
Thing is - I know the guy cheated on her about a month ago (and has admitted so to various people), and although she knows "about" her, she doesn't know the...

If ignorance was really that blissful, the world would be a MUCH happier place !!
When you have to get dressed up to go to the hairdressers, you KNOW you're in the hip part of town.

Seems like everyone is getting engaged. So much for my generation being all "career first".
Cheers.
