Yeah, we looked at just replacing the doors and the worktops. Unfortunately the cupboards themselves have the structural integrity of a kebab shop queue.

'Night in Venice.' In 1904 Emile Claus became the leader of a new art movement in Belgium called Luminism which experimented with a new, luminous way of painting. Two years later he visited Venice; the paintings he made here persuaded Monet to visit the city in 1908.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
