For she's got an appointment with Emma Worwood for a facial! Now this, Dear Readers, is not going to be your average run of the mill facial. OH NO.. for Emma is the daughter of Valerie Ann Worwood whose treatments.. a.. saved my mama from going blind.. b.. alerted her Medics that all was 'not' well in her digestive tract.
And, she makes her own tooth powder from the recipe in Valerie's book.. The Fragrant Pharmacy. No filthy SLS goes in her mouth via commercially made toothpaste.. even if they do promise you that their products are 'healthy'.. ugh!
"Yes Mister Tom, she's on the case and will be posting some, and the recipe, to you this week". Our dear friend Tom used to use 'Tom's of Maine's toothpaste until my blog alerted him to the fact that this company put SLS - Sodium Lauryl Sulphate - into it.. he doesn't any longer.
So, even though it is as dull as dishwater out there, there's a great deal of cheerful cheer here in our house, unfortunately numpty has to come back, for the bathroom radiator, installed in November and not yet 8 weeks old.. sigh.. is not working but he'll have to make it work and if he cannot, they'll have to get another one and get the job done.
YumYum HQ is immaculate! Bill's meat slicer is out on the work surface, the big food processor is away under the sink, it takes up too much space for an item that's not used every day. Bathroom's also immacuate. Shower curtain washed in the machine and is hanging to dry and the floor rugs were also washed, dried and are back down.
She saw Angela's bathroom flooring and had a 'eureka' moment. Our beloved Wizard will make us a marvellous new floor here.. he's back from Australia tomorrow, she'll send him an e:mail welcoming him back and asking him to call her when he can.
She contacted Bramfield Meats in Suffolk - Telephone number 01986 874222 - and spoke with one of the guys about Bacon, he passed her onto an obliging man, called Jeremy, who discussed with her what was available and, next week, they're putting a pack of unsliced Smoked Back into the post to her. MAJOR SLURP!
So.. you see.. there are many reasons to be cheerful.. PLUS, she heard from Dear Patsy in California. Who also thanked her for a message she'd sent to via Patsy's brother in San Francisco, we were glad to see Michael relayed the message onto his sister.
What else? Not a lot if great importance.. it's a case of looking at things and making the best of what you have, isn't it? For instance, that reallyreally untidy sitting room which appears to be full of 'crap', is not! What IS in there, are lots of things that should and, usually do, live in another place (just like the work surface in YumYum HQ, none of that was crap, aka rubbish, what was there were things she hadn't put back into their proper place).
There is a humungeous.. aka bigger than enormous.. pile of ironing to do, but once it's done, what will be in its' place will be a neat pile of sheets, pillow cases, Bruce's linen and a few linen hand towels. ALL of which will go, when ironed, whoosh, into a linen cupboard!
So.. 'crap' ain't always crap.. it's stuff that needs to be put tidily away somewhere else. But, before you put it away.. it creates CHAOS!
And she's on her case.. CHAOS stands for 'Can' Have Anyone Over Syndrome! We can't have that, can we!
GeeGee Parrot.
