Clash

V in to a rowdy colour clash at the moment - which was particularly evident this week when I had to wear all black and felt like an imposter all day in my serious get up. Why look boring when you could look a bit nuts?

A long time coming

It's been a long time coming. Almost 10 years since the boy with the Del Boy ring (see here).

A birthday and Christmas windfall allowed me to run in to a favourite Shepherd's Bush pawn shop and finally realise a teenage dream.

Heart Attack

I noticed today that I have a lot of heart jewellery. Is it time to start buying skulls and stuff now instead?

NEWS FLASH

I received a belated 21st birthday present today. My best friend bought me a Claddagh ring - an irish wedding ring, or token of friendship/love. Apparently (wikipedia) the Claddagh ring was first produced in the 17th century for Queen Mary II. The hands are said to represent friendship, the heart, love and the crown, loyalty. I've never seen one with a garnet set in it before. It's from a pawn shop in Shepherd's Bush market, and the guy was pretty much convinced Tessa and I were lesbians which was fun. I can't stop staring at it.
