Computer woes...

It would seem logical that this year would be the year that I would most need a computer for essays and my dissertaion, and indeed it is. So of course this is when my computer decides to casually die on me. Fantastic.

My main issue with this is that I can no longer watch netflix in bed.

I will try and post what I can from my tablet until I can get my computer fixed.

I am however close to ticking the travel box of my wishlist, indeed Tuesday morning I leave for Milan. I do not expect this to be cheap, however given that saving and staff discount gave us cheap but  very high quality rooms I expect great things.

I shall of course update you whikst I'm there. My flatmates want me to drive to verona a some point. I shall let you know if we make it in one piece.

I am looking forward to the architecture. Coming from near Bath I used to see the sandstone buildings and the roman baths and think how beautiful they were and I expect even more from Milan. The cathedrals, the galleries, the smaller less used streets. Fun!

Bring me the world and I will travel it!

See ya later ,

Winter months

I am a winter baby, as such winter is arguably my favourite time of year. Snow, fresh mornings, coats, scarves, boots, I love it all. I especially love christmas, forgive me for the earliness of this but I can't wait. I got a little over excited and bought a whole tacky cheesy cjritsmas outfit at Primark,  complete with jingle earrings (I'm so cool it hurts).

Anyhow whilst in town I bought a few trinkets for my bedroom.
First off some fairylights. I find that fairylights bring a nice charm to any room. The best thing is they come in a variety of colours and shapes do there is something for every one. I put mine on my headboard as it gives a nice gentle light and makes the bed the focal point (which when you're as messy as me is probably a good thing.)
I also bought a couple of tealight holders from the Next home department. Taking me into the next home department is a bad idea as I have a tendency to go overboard. Again lighting candles always cheers me up and candles are great on miserable winter days. I enjoy reading a book bundled in a blanket with a hot chocolate with some candles lit. I often sit behind the Christmas tree when that time comes.
I also went in to this tiny shop which sells things made by artisans and got a cute little photo frame. Anyone who knows me can testify that I love photos. I have 2 wall collages either side of my bed and multiple frames dotted around the room. 

Point of this being that at the same time as I'm hopefully getting myself to where I want to be, I'm also enjoying decorating my room to be a place I want  to be, I have found thatdoing so doesn't necessarily need money, just some creativity. So get creative and make yourself a haven.
