Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Catalogue Shopping

The other day I was leafing through a furniture catalogue to try and get some ideas for shelving and sitting in the comfort of my own, home with a cup of tea, I found myself drawn to things I didn't want, didn't need and if I had seen in a crowded shop would have trusted my gut instincts, dismissed it and moved on without a second thought.

In a catalogue there is no such pressure.

I desired things, and was interested only because they were less crap than the things that surrounded them and there were hundreds of pages of such tat, and that is not the way to go about shopping. In the end, having decided that I didn't want to either waste my time and risk filling the house with utter shite from catalogues, I resorted to searching for misspelled items of undesirableness on eBay.

Don't ask me why.
