got a really nice small lamp thru aliexpress

when aliexpress do good they do really good 👍

and it's such a beautiful day, I won't go to beach or do errands because back so I will read by a sunny window ( I have so much to do 😔) I read a short book on Australian landscape painters yesterday , I really like Charles Conder and Lloyd Rees but Heysen landscapes are the places I grew up with, they resonate. The bright yellow skies, colours faded from the sun , the dry air, the heat, the quiet, old old trees, and farms.

Stuff on aliexpress is good if you don't buy the most unreasonably cheapest of everything. You can often find regular brands on there that other stores sell too
