> I'm rambling again. This place has become sort of an on-line diary for me. You forget that you might be putting other people to sleep!

Ramble all you like, Gracie - I enjoy reading :)

European size pillows? now that has me stumped. The standard size pillow here in the UK is about 26" x 16" - not that big! It's not easy to find any other size. Not to mention, you'd never find any other size pillow case or sham.

I loved all the big pillows I saw at friends' houses in the US. Especially those long, long ones which were sooo nice to wrap oneself around at night. We just don't have that kind of thing here. People's beds seemed loaded with pillows, such a difference from the standard 2 per person, standard size as above. I'd love one of those long pillows to cuddle at night. *mental note* next trip to USA, I bring one home!!

decorating... yeah I dream about that too. When I had my own apartment it was decorated by the landlord just before I moved in - he'd not have agreed to me redoing it so soon, despite the fact that it wasn't really to my taste. So I lived with it for 5 years, I maybe could have justified redoing it after about 3 years but didn't have the money never mind the motivation any longer.

Now I just have one room in my friend's house, not decorated at all, but crammed with a lot of the stuff I had in my apartment, most of it still in boxes, not enough room to swing a cat. I dream about having another apartment and deliberately not filling it with stuff next time. I want cool smooth laminate wood floors, futons with nice throws, rugs, plain plain stuff with maybe a wall or two of a vibrant colour like a bright blue to lift the blandness... I'm not afraid of colour. The decor in my old flat favoured the chintzy... :(

Oh, and I want cushions everywhere... I keep seeing gorgeous cushion covers of Indian and Asian styles with gold thread embroidery and beadwork, in deep jewel colours. I want millions of these....

Then add a mini rainforest of big green tropical plants in the corner....

:)
