Beauty - or, those who cannot do, teach.

Bentlee, I have no idea why but I had assumed you were very conventional!

Thanks for the input! About to nip off to your profile to see if you have a pic from behind and if you haven't, hope you will put one up

Kal, no fair, you can cover yours!

Molly, I shall, it's just the weather for it too, so warm the tourists are already swarming in growing numbers in shorts and string tops and I am seriously considering removing one of my sweaters. 24 degrees and, they tell us, rising.

Yes back in my Scottish days I too would have been in sandals and a wisp of clothing. I may have over-adjusted.

It is in a jar, not a bottle. Just sayin'.

Vier, men are luckier, you CAN just shave it off and polish the shining scalp.

'That' combover is an engineering marvel, you probably need 6 trained hairdressers on standby

BA my hair looks like this character from the muppets singing in this clip (don't know her name). Try it at your peril

(Those shavings did soften very quickly)

The jar says crudo coco virgen extra and there's stuff on the back about it being ecológico. Its best-before date is October, so it hasn't crusted. I don't think ...

This house is as cold as a crypt even in summer so maybe it has just frozen

Molly, not kidding when I say this coconut stuff is in brick form. I tried to gouge a bit out with a knife and managed a few shavings, but will leave it in the sun and see if that sorts it out a bit

Mimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and go on, rub it in, your hair is perfect

I forgive you only because I like you

Ditto short hair is a pain maybe one day I'll shave the lot off and use shea butter on my gleaming scalp instead

RE: Who is God? Does God exists?

I wonder if you really want comments or just want to be agreed with? Well, I agree there are mysteries that science can't yet explain. I personally like to think there is a divinity that shapes our lives, and I don't love being told I'm gormless or moronic for holding a belief which works for me. Guess when we are dead we will either be saying 'told you so' to the unbelievers, or we'll just be dead. The way I see it, life is a gift and should be enjoyed as such. There may be a reckoning, so I have avoided giving in to the temptation to murder anyone really irritating

As to which divinity that is - I agree with Blue. You are talking about one religion, and not even the most popular one amongst the 7·point·something billion people alive fair enough you say that is your view, but the biblical God is certainly not the first most people on this crowded planet would automatically think of. Religions were all designed to persuade the many to follow the revelations of the few and mostly tried to impose structure and order on anarchy. They all succeeded. Some do then take it much too far but that is a human choice, not a divine one.

RE: I kissed a girl..

If you move out of people's comfort zones you become the faceless enemy, labelled and packaged in the small frame of their experience ...

RE: Will it ever go away?

I stopped for 2 years and the craving never went away. I used to follow smokers round at parties, breathing in their second hand smoke in a kind of miserable bliss.

Sorry, that might not have been helpful.

RE: Scruffy Car

RE: Scruffy Car

phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

when I saw you'd added a comment I was convinced you'd given in and danced the car clean and then the pressure would be on those with still-scruffy cars to follow suit.

Hold your ground, sir.

RE: The F-word

8 minutes, Mick? And a guy? Have a heart, babe, I have the attention span of a goldfish, anything over 14 seconds you lost me.

Not going to get into those arguments except when it is apples with apples not oranges (or oringes or origins or whatever the word is now)

RE: The F-word

By George, Mick, I think you got it!

RE: The F-word

Molly, don't you find the Spanish swear with imagination and variety and, if they are really annoyed, at great length? It gets quite operatic. To pick one word and use it all the time - well, they don't around this town. The variety is ENDLESS, I can't keep up

RE: The F-word

Ah Mick there is still a slightly shocked group between those two morons have no age limits ....

RE: The F-word

hit not him

my brain is meltinggggggggggggggggg

RE: The F-word

Mic Bllllllllllllllliksem is the most heavenly word to say when you just him your thumb with a hammer. That double-barrel bang bang is PERFECT

RE: Scruffy Car

Ish that is definitely the best time to appreciate Z's car at its best



Harb, that bit of my car is well-polished with bulldog drool - she braces herself there to keep a watchful eye on the road in case I nod off - and shines at all times

RE: Scruffy Car

Harb, the only thing that really works is knowing you will have a critical passenger. When I have to collect my daughter it takes about 2 days to get the car in showroom condition before I am ready to leave for the airport.

If you should ever make it here, and I be the one collecting you, it is a genuine relief to know you won't be demanding that level of spotlessness.

RE: The Fitbit Experience

But if you are doing thousands every day, does ten more or less really matter?

Colour me impressed, anyway. I walk the dog twice a day but she's old and doesn't demand distance.

RE: Scruffy Car

I will pay you a tenner to clean the car inside and out.

In return, you will pay me a tenner to clean mine.

In fact to make it easier and sidestep Paypal charges, you can merely send me a photo of cleaned car, and I will debit the account, and when I can send a photo of mine, it can be credited.

As in kidnapping situations, a newspaper showing the date should be visible in the photos.

Anyone up for a similar housework arrangement?

RE: You never know

WOW that's fast but given the choice, rather four weeks than your Dad's situation - for me.

If you feel the doctors are abusing the situation I should think you can insist on a hospice, if / when the time comes when his best interests are being ignored?

When Solitaire's the only game in town

I WISH I could just a comment - nothing to add to that one. I'm listening to it on youtube as I type.

The point of the blog is that we don't need someone to give purpose to our lives. Friends and lovers are the cherries on top, though. Sometimes, someone in our corner would be enough.

I'd forgotten the song. Thanks.

RE: This Weekend

Go count daffodils in the Lake district, or has that ship already sailed?

Take a sketchbook and some charcoal for a walk.

Get your hair streaked.

Look on meetup.com for your area and see if any options appeal.

RE: Is responding to...

There are now two types of blogs - the ones that are the final word on the subject and if you really want to talk about it, go start your own blog



and the ones that attract all the weirdos who for whatever peculiar reason like talking



Ones that offer participation trophies, oh MY. My first trophy got lost in the post.

RE: This Weekend

How about a brass band? Was tip-tapping away and heard a brass band approaching, rushed to the door in time to have it march loudly past, I have absolutely no idea what it was for but it has cheered me up no end
