I'm updating this from my boyfriend's place (while he cooks me dinner - he's so good to me!), which is appropriate given the theme. I did have one short period of peak productivity round about St Valentine's Day: I've been a sucker for personalised treasure hunts ever since I watched Amelie and I really wanted to put something like that together for him. In addition to being an absolute gentleman, domestic god, and all round top-notch person, he's completely turned me onto David Lynch, so what resulted was a distinctly Twin Peaks themed adventure centred entirely around his desk. In this case, half the fun was probably in the making, but most of the details are classified Top Secret!
Surprise number 1: "Diane, I am holding in my hand a small box of chocolate bunnies..." Bunnies not pictured.
Surprise number 1.1. Incidentally, my boyfriend's name is not "Diane"!
Surprise number 1.2: even more Cooper.
Exhibit B: my favourite oddball romantic pairing after Andy and Lucy (I still can't get over "I'm a whole damn town!"). I was a bit hasty with the watercolour on the card, but I was really happy with how the fake coffee ring turned out. I love Audrey Horne. She's such a flirt. "Do your palms ever itch?"
Anyway, I'll finish off with a picture I took around the same time on my new camera (my old one had a run-in with a banana and wasn't quite the same afterwards). It's of the area behind the flats where I'm living and it reminds me of the sinister and strange goings on in the woods around my favourite fictional town! The owls are not what they seem...
