My father is moving house so my sister and I have been sorting out all our old books and toys we have stored there, deciding what to keep. This is my sister with her dolls house, she’s showing me a tiny frying pan of bacon and eggs. It’s so nice to see it again after all this time!
My aunt has been sorting out the old family photos from the Irish side of the family and she gave me these old photograph wallets.
I meant to do a ‘what’s in the bag’ post for ages. Does anyone else want to do one too? This is what is in mine (clockwise from top left):
Another bag for carrying shopping
Diary and notebook
Bag of bike things (lights, luminous strip, bungee),
Keys on my Angela Lansbury keyring,
Thick suede gloves for cycling
Carmex
Tiny emergency pot of Eumovate in case I accidentally come in touch any Sodium Laureth Sulphate (my hands are super sensitive to it)
Chanel powder with handy mirror
Earplugs (for at gigs and when playing)
Earbags (one Japanese and one Irish to match my heritage :) a bit crazy I know! My sister has the same.)
Bike clip
Mr Sneeze tissues
Radley umbrella (always carry an umbrella)
iPhone in iPhone pouch
Purse (gift from my Great Aunt Namiko I think it is made of lacquered deerskin)
Purse/pouch into which I put the iPhone and purse, also contains lots of cards and earphones, hairclips etc
Camera, daytime mostly Canon 450D, nighttime mostly Olympus E-P1
This is the bag, I mentioned this before and I still really love it. It has short straps and one long one. It is deep with a zip. Importantly it stands up to the weather beautifully, it regularly gets rained on during my cycle ride. I think it is aging well. Hanging on it is a Kusama pumpkin that reminds me of this one every time I see it.
This china mug. It’s from the Tate St Ives shop, I’m having trouble finding anything about it online but underneath it says the design was done for Tate St Ives by Alex Higlett. The drawings are of St Ives landmarks and it says “shoo, cloud shoo!”. Very cheering. (The drink in the picture is a soy matcha latte).
This sandwich. It’s from a Middle Eastern place not too far from my house, they do sit down food there but the flatbread sandwiches to-go are the best. I get falafel with spinach.
