Day 16: $8 well spent

I walked past a colleague's office at work today, noticed her beautiful bunch of roses and remembered her telling me that she buys herself a bunch of flowers every week to put on her desk at work. I thought that was a lovely idea, although one I don't afford myself very often.

Striding home listening to Bloc Party 'Banquet' I decided to go and buy myself a bunch of flowers to brighten up the lounge. I think i'll treat myself more often, there's something uplifting about flowers. So that brings me to today's photo.

On a side note, I walked past a guy wearing a 'Hugs not war' t-shirt on the street the other day and couldn't help but wonder what he would do if I/someone actually went up to him and hugged him. Would he connect it with the t-shirt or think you were crazy? I have worn a slogan t-shirt before that said 'happy' or something and I remember a train guard making a cheerful remark at me and for whole minute I had no idea what he was talking about!
