Love by Moonlight

Today my mother and I went to a plumbing supply shop to look at showers and bathroom fittings. She is planning to gut the bathroom and do all new fittings. It hasn't had anything done to it since she bought the house twenty-four years ago, so things are looking a bit tired. Did you know you can get black matte taps now? They don't get fingermarks on them! We were also taken with these giant image splashbacks. They had a walk-in shower set up with a splashback of a forest on two walls. It looked amazing. Anyway, there's a heads up of what is likely to be a recurring subject in this journal this year. Heaven knows what Alistair will make of it. He won't have any whiskers left.

Murder mystery cliche: The bad guy being arrested while at a soirée for people to look at an architectural model. If I ever get invited to one of those soirées, I'll be disappointed if no-one gets arrested. (What happens to those architectural models when the thing is built, I wonder? I wouldn't mind displaying one as a sculpture.)

Here are some 80s hairstyles that you may enjoy. In thirty years' time, will we be looking back at modern photos and marvelling at the extensions?.
