fool

One of my children covered the toilet with cling film, the other used it DESPITE BEING AWARE of the cling film and no prizes for guessing who cleaned it up. It reminded me of one of my few childhood memories that are not dependent on a photograph - most recollections seem to be based around a hook of a particular printed image. I can remember, giggling conspiratorially with my little sister, spending a very long time indeed using felt pens (not quite matching when the first one ran out) to colour in a large circle of "tomato soup" to fool my Dad. I find it so hard to believe now that I really thought he would be in any way deceived by it, seeing as it bore no resemblance whatsoever to soup. I'm pleased to report that my deception skills have not developed at all since then :D

I'm currently not quite managing to keep on top of stuff. I need to get to work so will just have to let that go and try and focus on all that might raise a giggle instead. I hope that each time today you realise someone is trying to trick you, you can delight in it, because they must think you're worthy of their attention and they want to make you smile :)

Olfactory-wise, it has been a satisfying day. I've had several whiffs reminding me of various friends (their deodorants or washing powder or whatever it is that reminds me of them. Not their farts). And some luscious baking at one point. The sun is shining so inevitably the question has arisen as to when the pool is coming out. Let's not go there right now shall we, I feel overwhelmed enough already right now. On a more positive note, the rays have incited me to purchased salad items. I try and support my local fruit n veg shop but it always seems to cost a small fortune. The report that was highlighted on the news today suggests that we should be eating at least 7 portions, and that frozen and canned "shouldn't count". No wonder health outcomes for poorer people are so much lower - no surprise I know for so many factors, but it often feels quite tricky to cheaply purchase fresh fruit n veg compared to less nutritious choices.
Hungry now so had best go wash and assemble my purchases. Hope you can feel the sun too?
