it sure has been a week of stuff.
actually, no, it hasn’t, but i’ve been organising and attending flats viewings and it’s been A LOT. saw one place that was really good but had no living space; one woman wouldn’t give me the address; one woman had to cancel because of a migraine; one room got taken up before i could see it; one room came up for grabs out of nowhere and then got taken up whilst i was talking to the landlady. that woman wanted us to keep in touch? why?
in the end i ended up seeing two places today, one of which isn’t going to work out, and the other which got taken up RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME GUYS I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED, and the flat i saw yesterday, without the living space, has also been taken up. i am trying to arrange another viewing for tuesday evening, and hopefully also the migraine cancellation as well. it’s a lot of hassle for something i don’t entirely want to do. hopefully the right thing will come up. i guess i need to feel good enough to say then and there that i want something, but because in my heart of hearts i don’t want any of them, it’s not happening.
bloody exhausting, though.

after the viewing last night i went to ilford to see an old family friend (the girl who got married in 2014, whose wedding i ended up running in the background) who had a baby in september. it was really relaxed, which was nice. her brother was there for a bit - i’ve seen him every weekend for the past three weeks, but he’s a good guy - and in the morning i got to play with the baby, which is always fun. i handed over the hippo i made back in september, so that has officially gone home.

i started a knitting project the other night - my first in about a year - and i’ve been trying to get used to continental knitting because the throwing method is kind of doing my arm in. i’ve got knitting down, but purling has proven Complicated. i think i’m twisting the stitch when i do it. it’s visibly not-quite-right. i’ll get it, but i ended up frogging a lot of it to get those stitches right.

new brandi carlile album dropped on friday, and though i find her stuff hit-or-miss, i like the record a lot. both the opening track and the mother have been alternately on repeat since i first played the album through.
i also got an email about haim playing ally pally in june, and even though i wanted to ask so much more of their second album, i’ve signed up for advanced sales. with any luck i’ll be living in london by then.
