Awake and up all night

Luxury.

Evening Shimmer me timbers .

Did that with the fan last heatwave and it worked. I'll have to get the tray in the freezer first thing in the morning.

Oh, I went looking for that ice stuff this morning but the nearest I could find was called something else??? At 99p for a large tub I got one anyway and it was in the chemisty section in Home Bargains. It's none perfumed so if it doesn't calm my restless legs well, at that price I can dollop it on Cornflakes. Result! xxx

Well done to everyone jumping through another hoop today. Remember it is not a competition in the sense that no one's situation is more worthy than others.

When you are all played out, successfully getting yourself a glass of water can be like summiting Everest.

Being faced with your fear is like standing in front of a hungry lion having smeared yourself in chocolate and cheese sauce. The flavour of the fear is irrelevant, the living to tell the tale is what makes you a legend

Cheers

I am intrigued. Menthol gel that does not smell ... well mentholy?

Ha, years back a precursor to Lush (and far superior in my opinion) did food scented items whose aromas really were like the real deal. So white chocolate soap could tempt to you lick it and one's staff would remove jars of 'honey' from the bathroom to place in kitchen cupboards. 

Cheers

Oops, sorry Shimmer, just had OH to tend.

The cream just has a nondescript, creamy odour. I'm unsure if there's menthol in it but will check in the morning as there's only the telly glow right now and my eyes are rubbish in dark places. Maybe it is for putting on Cornflakes after all. Hmmm...

I vaguely recall my elder sister having creams and stuff that smelled of fruit. She'd give me the remnants when she moved on to the latest whatever and yes, I did have a taste. Never poisoned myself though xxx

Cosmetics To Go. It was fabulous mail order, they invented the bath bomb, massage bars, shampoo bars so no packaging etc.

Sadly they were so popular and promising dispatch on receipt of order, they imploded. Products were priced too cheaply and they tried expanding without fully understanding the finance.

The very next year however they started Lush. You know the shop you can smell at the end of the street it is in. Just not the same for me.

Cheers

How are your eyes tonight? Can you handle a pic of flowers? I am amazed by how many different plants there are out and about when my local streets don't have gardens.

I know we are also lucky not have the scorched earth look lots of places have currently. sssshhhh we have just had a whole minute of light rain!!!

Cheers

That's a real shame about what happened to their first products but I've not heard of Lush, I don't think. If it's regional maybe that's why but I've not been anywhere for about three years except  hospitals and they don't stock it. Sorry hon, a smidge of bitterness crept out so I'll cut that out. I'm blaming the weather, so ignore xxx

Phone delay again.

My eyes are gritty but I'd love a flower pic  xxx

Hello Gill, here's a few birds you might like outside our kitchen window in Arizona this am.

We were especially favoured to see the Gambel's Quail chick.
