Dull and Boringingsville Arizona

Is it me or is everyone becoming really dull. I am not generalising here , dear reader, so don't be offended. Its not personal. There is a complete lack of imagination which leaves me cold. Aren't you clever baking your own cakes( what?) they cry and aren't you creative( you have hand written a letter with pen and ink). My translation to all things in life as seen by the masses thus is as follows;
Georgian-something in a nest of 3 from the Grattan catalogue-
Edwardian-ditto as above from the Next home directory-
Victorian-ditto as above from Past Times, (as in a Victorian style Ipod cover with cherubs draped in sequins)
Bauhaus-a web site for 100% washable dog baskets.
Post War-anything after the Falklands which takes in Spandau Ballet and The Human league .
Contemporary.something from Asda Home or Aldi at Home. This means candles made from Pygmy effluent which gives an authentic wholesome smell around the home-One quick squirt and you are there. And don't get me on the Tesco Home fragrance aisles-They should be banned-every conceivable slice of utter nonsense all lined up masquerading as Lily of The Valley point -and -squirt or one -quick -puff diffuser. As if. My tip is to mash up a rotten banana-leave it on the window sill and guaranteed and wait for the comments-Its far cheaper.

And Oh I forgot,

Vintage...absolutely anything that's disregarded by your auntie Pat including the shower curtain with the plastic roses sliding rings from 1969...and the knitted poodle cover over the wine bottle. Bring it on.
