By refusing to drink tea unless I have a cup and saucer, I feel that I'm upholding the best things in life.

aformentioned read leather pixie boots from 1982
denim jackets and lumberjack shirts
orange lipstick and backcombed hair
old lady perfumes in atomisers
classic chanel twinsets
big national health service spectacles
thomas the tank engine and friends
bruce forsyth; I will be gutted when he dies, he's the granddad of everyone in england
high waisted 50s knickers

moving to paris for university is now confirmed
to study french literature and philosophy
because quintissential england exists only in my own heart and mannerisms
the prospect of real, strong coffee is tantalising, after years of having to ask for two extra shots in this watered down society
i wish this could come sooner, but at the same time, i'm terrified of growing up.

darjeeling is nice
but it tastes like english breakfast, which is cheaper
chai tea, peculiarly named as 'chai' means 'tea' in india: tea tea is mildly spicy and delightful
tea bags are saddening, especially those shaped like pyramids; tea should not be geometric
teapots induce happiness
you can then have tea for two
it is awful that the best tea company in england is going out of business.

hardwood floors, whitewashed walls, high ceilings
a lampshade from morrocco
a revolving bookcase
that bookcase being devoted to the virginia woolf back catalogue
an antique hat stand
with lots of hats
a beaded curtain as an homage to 1970s brothels everywhere
an antique vanity table, painted white
a drinks cabinet with lots of cut glass bottles and absinthe
a worn out, scribbled upon copy of joyce's 'portrait of the artist as a young man'

revised the entire of IB biology; I haven't even reached genetics
bought some more chai tea, but I can't get to tesco because of the snow
found that last packet of cigarettes which I know is in my drawer somewhere: see snow above
should not have smoked the last one, evidently
taken photos of my beautiful thrifted red pixie boots to gloat
attempted to fix my wobbly bookcase
dusted off my snow covered wellington boots
