True Blue

(Dis is me n my cacti hangin out)

Richard Ayoade and I share the same favourite colour: blue foreverandever.

Recently, I went to a top garden in Cornwall with lots of cacti and huge aloe plants and hanging vines and a little waterfall which was so lovely; there was also a Richard Turrell art installation that consisted of a circular white room with an oval hole in the ceiling that you could stare up at, and it was super cool (white photos below). 
Life iz sad tho because I have exams and my film photos all scanned in green which is gross, so I think my scanner is still broken.. </3

Oh but also the most amazing thing happened.. I went to a FREE PEACE GIG on Thursday in Pimlico with a friend which was so so amazing, because it was the third time I have seen them live and I they are getting better and better each time. We queued outside the venue for 2 hours in the grey rain until suddenly the doors opened and we piled into the stifling basement. There was no stage, just microphones on the floor, so I was only a metre away from dearest Harrison and Doug for their hour long set, which contained new gems such as 'Money' and 'World Pleasure', along with classics such as 'Wraith' and 'Bloodshake'. Doug did his little dance while he played and then he momentarily held my hand at the end when I reached out to him, while Harrison crooned to the crowd "baby, ur out of my league". It was the greatest gig I've ever been to and I can't wait to see them in summer again. Peace have become super funky from what their new material sounds like, and I really really really love them.

Goodbye Weekend

How To Be Pretentious: II Part Selfie

Sunny Spring fun has definitely ~not~ been happening; I have been revising for my scary exams in Cornwall, right by the sea, so I can hear the sea from my bed and it's lovely. However, the lighthouse opposite the cove shines into my room every night and it's very difficult to sleep. 

(perfect 4 revision, kids)

My darling scanner has died (I'm in mourning) and I finished my moleskine, so I've had to photograph my sketchbook, sorry 4 poor quality </3 
This holiday I took a fun day-trip to Ikea and made a terrarium and irrecoverably fell in love with Mac Demarco and read some Evelyn Waugh books and watched hideous amounts of Netflix. Apart from that, most of my time was spent lying face-down on my bedroom floor, thinking about exams- so all in all v productive and time well spent. (I wna die)

☼ summer update ☼

So I just got home from a week in Cornwall with the coolest gal, Rachel where we had the best time. It was so hot there so we just swam all day and jumped off the stone wall that juts out into the sea and then sunbathed and watched films, which was perfect. On a visit to the nearest town, we went into a junk shop where we found an old i-zone Polaroid camera which (if you can afford the ridiculously priced film) prints your photo onto a sticker which is awesome. Rachel got an underwater camera as well and I bought my new favourite thing ever: an old Praktica Super TL analogue camera that I intend to start using as soon as possible for this summer, so watch this space for when I start taking photos..

spend the day at home

I've been doing more drawing recently, because of being away on holiday, so here's some of my doodles, documenting my very boring life:
