Consumerism is crazy… you’re incentivized to make money so you can afford <things> then you have too many <things> and now you need to upgrade to a bigger place to fit all the <things>, and then your place is “too big” to find all the <things> you were so excited to accumulate 🫠
Is this that threshold some people hit where they’re like f’ it imma just gonna live out of a suitcase from here on out
Good morning lovely people.
Sunday has arrived in wet and windy fashion here in my little corner of Fife. The final part of the Christmas Stamps SAL has also arrived, obviously I have not finished the last part yet, so today is going to be a mammoth stitching session, just as soon as the pain meds kick in.
Todays photo is one from yesterday, the Nutcracker Christmas Shop in St Andrews, it is there all year round. Believe it or not, I have never been in it. It was a lovely sight though on a wet afternoon wandering around St Andrews.
I do believe its time for more coffee.
Have a fabulous day everyone.
