Notes from a small blog
A smattering of random thoughts:
The tanning salon down the hill sells leather handbags. Wicked humour or carefully thought-out marketing?
It’s amazing how easy making your own (paper) masks is. Will post more on this when I have the time and the photographs.
Finally registered for a doctor on Wednesday. Finally.
It appears shirts are not made for people who don’t have a middle-aged paunch. Took me ages on Thursday to get something suitable. Thomas Pink, you suck! For reference, the man in TM Lewin was very helpful.
I got IDed buying soft drinks on Wednesday… well, that’s exaggeration for effect, but it’s still true. I was buying cordials from The Drink Shop and they phoned me up to verify that I was over eighteen. So if I want to buy booze closer to Christmas they can rush it out the door now that I’m in their system. Still, it was a bit surreal!
Started reading The Steep Approach to Garbadale and enjoying it so far. Helen actually complains that she really wants to read the book I’m reading right now, but she’ll just have to wait. I bought her Bad Science last month, but has she opened it?
Enjoy the sensation of being 18 again! It won’t happen often, regrettably.
