Snippets

Many thanks to the complete strangers yesterday who had two umbrellas, one a huge golf one, and offered me the loan of the smaller one on my way back from the supermarket when it was pouring while they shared the larger. the gentleman came up next to me and lifted the large one over me to share before calling to his girlfriend to hand over hers to me. Completely unexpected and kept me smiling through the evening. Not only did they loan me the umbrella for the portion of our walk that our paths matched, they very kindly walked me a block out of their way so I could continue using the umbrella to get home. Faith in humanity restored.

In other news, as one might reasonably expect, 97% fat free potato chips (Sultry Sally's in this case) don't taste so good. Well, actually, the taste isn't the issue, it's the texture - crunchy cardboard. This was the Salt and Vinegar flavour, whether the others are any better I couldn't say. but I had to try them :)

I wish I knew what I'd used on my face on Sunday that I've reacted to. I have a bright red, sore, allergy rash across the cheeks and under the eyes. under the eyes in particular hurts.

I had a good weekend even if Sugar Kitten cabaret left much to be desired - I have since heard from someone that it might have actually been someone's uni project which would explain a lot of the poor bits. Oh well.
The rest of it was good. Also on Sat night I discovered that coconut cream and chocolate liqueur with added malibu when the chocolate overwhelms the coconut, mixed to the consistency of custard and eaten, makes a really yummy cocktail :)

On Sunday I somehow resisted the urge to buy an utterly gorgeous angora cape. I was saved by the fact that we are going into Summer. If it was Autumn I think my self control would not have been as good...

My DB does that sort of thing regularly. Ain't he sweet?!
