Ektachrome 320T is a bloody amazing film, though
Today's shopping trip was not as successful as I'd hoped, but it did contain apiphile and absolute moral corruption, so a good time was had, overall.
I arrived in town with time to spare before I was due to meet Del, so I thought I'd pop to the Lomography shop to drop off some films for processing. If it were any other shop that provides film processing services, it would have been fine. But not this place. No. This is a little haven for analogue photo geeks and a staff member engaged me in nerdgasming over Ektachrome 320T. 320! It's so rare! Where did you find it? Of course, it's discontinued now. We do the 64, but that needs a lot of light. Which camera did you use? Sardina? Love that wide-angle lens.
And so I was late.
One of my xmas presents was a £50 gift voucher for John Lewis because my name is Holly and I am a yarnoholic. Since I can rarely afford enough yarn in one go for a large project, I tend to stick to knitting accessories like hats and scarves, but this was an excellent opportunity for cardiganning. (...look, it's a verb now, ok?) Of course, most of the yarn the correct weight for that cardigan pattern is either in colours I don't want, or just too pricey. (I am 2XL! I require many balls! Of yarn.) No mustard tweed for Holly. Sadface. I plumped for Patons Colour Works Aran in an odd grey, green and pink colourway. I like to knit things you wouldn't find in shops. I really don't think you'd find a striped cardigan in those colours in the shops. There's probably a good reason for that. I also picked up some Rowan Colourscape Chunky for a smidge over half-price in the sale. I love a self-striping bargain.
WHITTARD'S HAD NO RUSSIAN CARAVAN TEA. I was so disappointed that in a fit of #whitewhine I decided not to buy a mug from this CLEARLY INFERIOR ESTABLISHMENT. I had been looking forward to a nice big mug of Russian Caravan, and not Russian Power Ballad as Del misheard.
Then there were forbidden shoes and mockery and hats and a necklace with a compass on it that was so weakly magnetised that to find north it would have to go and ask Bear Grylls. I failed at clothes in Dorothy Perkins - or, rather, they failed at having my size in stock for any of the things I liked - so I will brave the hordes again soon to try the bigger branch. DOOOOOOOOOOM.
I am enjoying using this Planet Earth moodtheme again. Makes me want to rewatch the series.
