faustus | When I am Old(er) I Shall Wear Purple

My living room is Ivar-coloured with (beech?) pale laminate floor and light blue (ice? crystal?) curtains. A throw of a checky darker blue brought some extra colour to the room, and thanks to the unexhaustable skills of

lamentables I had some cushion covers from converted red, purple, brown and gold curtains.

Alas, these have not survived my weight and have split along the manufacturer's seams (the Lamentables ones being still firm). I've visited The Merchant Chandler for cushion covers of various shades of tastefulness, but a couple of weeks ago I spotted some purple cushions in a charity shop. These I bought, but they've taken a while to get home and be unpacked.

En route I raised a fear with one of my drinking companions that they were too purple.

Yes, she agreed, They are too purple. But in a good way.

I love my friends.
