Iris. 26. London. Artist, thinker & time waster. This blog contains everything and nothing. More nothing than something because more often than not I am afraid of sharing or doing.

Procrastination Across The Nation

Someone kick me and make me update already! I’ve been toying with the idea of updating my blog for about a month but I keep putting it off. So voila, an impromptu update with no topic or meaningful content whatsoever!

I just bought a Nintendo DS Lite off ebay, so I’m pretty excited [...]

Pictures of Our New Flat!

When I say new, we’ve been living here almost a month already! Time flies. We’re picking up Tikka (the kitten) on Friday. I am so excited, I can’t wait!

IKEA & a Kitten

Time for an update about My Life™

Yesterday was an exciting yet frustrating day. We had taken the day off work to go IKEA shopping to get some bits and pieces for our new flat. Oh yeah, forgot to mention (although I’ve Twittered about it), we moved to a new flat! It’s gorgeous [...]

This is just [...]

I have such a love/hate relationship with the internet. On the one hand I love it (I could extol the virtues [...]

Birthday

Today is my mum’s birthday. She would’ve been 59.

I find it hard to know how this makes me feel. A bit sad, I suppose, but I guess it’s hard to know whether I’m feeling my feelings fully. That sounds like gibberish I know, but I’m sure some people can make sense of [...]

Update of Epic Proportions

Soooo I haven’t updated since August! I’m so bad at sticking with something (like blogging). I’m so good at starting stuff, just not great at finishing, it’s the story of my life I swear!

So I’ve been thinking that I want this blog & site to be a bit different. OK I go [...]
