Making a house a home

It always feels so much more inspiring flicking through books than blogs.

That is something i say quite often, and always get a response something like ‘ oh Jenny you are soooo negative, thats a awful thing to think’
But when i say it, i mean it in a positive way.

Just as the 2nd Buddhist Noble Truth teaches us:

2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things and the ignorance thereof. Transient things do not only include the physical objects that surround us, but also ideas, and -in a greater sense- all objects of our perception. Ignorance is the lack of understanding of how our mind is attached to impermanent things. The reasons for suffering are desire, passion, ardour, pursuit of wealth and prestige, striving for fame and popularity, or in short: craving and clinging. Because the objects of our attachment are transient, their loss is inevitable, thus suffering will necessarily follow. Objects of attachment also include the idea of a “self” which is a delusion, because there is no abiding self. What we call “self” is just an imagined entity, and we are merely a part of the ceaseless becoming of the universe.

If this is a theory you find interesting or you just fancy popping along to check out the new rejuvenated SOUTH LONDON GALLERY well this is the perfect time.
It is a great space with a really nice cafe/bar/restaurant and is open late on a Wednesday!!!

I passed my theory test!!!!! Even though everyone says its for retards, well they certainly having some tricky qs in there. All those train journeys I spent geeking out were def worth it!!!!

It has been a while coming, but as you all know ‘Best things to those who wait’.

I have known Gareth for over 10 years, he was my first friend i met in London and i cannot tell you how proud of him i am.

We picked up a 1930s mirror we won on Ebay from a flat in the Barbican. I like this pic.
