Oh dear, I have done some daft things lately. I am so looking forward to getting my new glasses. There we were at the tile place buying tile trim. How thick are your tiles? asked the helpful assistant. Bob guessed, and I scrabbled about on my phone trying to find the details of the product. "75 millimetres" I announced brightly. Bob suggested quietly I had missed the decimal point. I should have realised that three inches is rather thick for a wall tile!
You remember that disturbing Corsodyl advert with the girl with the missing teeth? I was brushing my teeth late the other night,[in pjs, sans specs] and was horrified to see the sink was full of bloody foam.
Now I am 70, should I expect to lose all my teeth? I squinted at the new toothpaste. I was so relieved to discover it has a red stripe, and that was the source of the incarnadine froth!This book was wedged between two origami books in the library 'papercraft' section. I liked the title. Only when I got home did I discover it is about a woman who makes her living producing videos of herself folding all her possessions!
I will review the airfryer book and this bizarre little tome later.
Oh, that's disappointing (and a little bizarre) - a book about folding!
ReplyDeleteGlad your chicken wasn't delayed and proved delicious. 75mil would definitely be quite extreme! 😂
Am glad the toothpaste was the cause of the red!!!
🤣🤣
DeleteFollowing on from a comment by poppypatchwork on my blog, I think we could create a whole new blog together called 'senior moments, and what I forgot today'.... did I mention the time I found the milk in the mug cupboard?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the folding lady; how does she fold sofas? Breakfast bowls? I need to know...
Review will be posted next week
DeleteMaybe lie down in a darkened room for a while? You make me laugh, Ang!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm guilty of trying to do too much. A ten minute lie down every afternoon might help
DeleteI had to laugh at the thought of 3" thick tiles, how to shrink a bathroom (or your worktop space) in one easy tiling session.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to a practical demonstration of all that you learn from the folding book. :-)
Next week...
DeleteHa ha thinking of your cooking in church.. before the internet I used to leave a cassette tape taping the Archers and at some point in the service, I used to glance at my watch and hope my son had remembered to turn over the tape!
ReplyDeleteHow are things in Ambridge these days? I gave up listening during lockdown
DeleteYou made me laugh and remember the piece Joyce Grenfell did on " The Lady in Church".

https://youtu.be/CTNyt6PxvJU?si=BbZLJjjaVHf65mKL is the link to that extremely funny piece . JG was brilliant
DeleteI've seen videos about folding things. Every once in a while I try them for entertainment and then go back to something simpler. I have been watching some lately about folding for packing. I've got each item of DH's underwear down to the size of a pair of socks! He'll never be able to find them in the suitcase.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean he will have to unfold every little packet to get the right underwear each day...
DeleteI’ve seen the Folding Lady on YouTube. She gets massive viewing figures
ReplyDeleteWhy? Do people find it soothing watching another woman fold her sheets? And do her followers all have beautifully sorted knicker drawers? I'm afraid I just don't get it
DeleteI am not quite 70 yet (a few more months to go), but, lately, I'm finding myself going into a room and wondering why I went in there! :D
ReplyDeleteI find this aged 44...
Delete🤣🤣🤣
DeleteThank you for the smiles and reminder that I do things like that too.
