Lessons I’ve learned this week: hoping for the best while preparing for the worst is simply the only sensible way forward in this day and age.
Posting political opinions on Instagram is a fool’s errand, bound to leave you feeling both stupid and angry. I’m sure I’ll be back doing it again, feeling exactly the same – as Rita Mae Brown wisely said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
In my constant hunt for properties, and my eternal longing to runaway to Scotland, I stumbled upon the delightful Kilfinan Hotel. One of my toxic traits is the belief that I could somehow master one of the hardest professions around by becoming a hotelier or restaurateur, convinced I could make it work. Realistically, I know it would likely be a disaster; I’ve yet to see Tat go a month without incessant worry. But perhaps one of you fine people could make it work, and I’d be there as a feverish patron.
In lighter news here are a few things I have seen and felt needed a little documentation -
I came across this lighting brand, which I thought was simply excellent. Their website hasn’t been updated in years, which I always think is rather chic. Admittedly, it can sometimes be a bit unhelpful, but there’s a quiet allure to a brand that isn’t constantly ramming its goods down your throat. You may already know them and scoff at my amazement, but perhaps one or two of you will also be happily introduced to Woolpit Interiors.
You have to email them to retrieve the price, I feel in love with the pompeii shade which is £190.
