    No tomato sauce here except in mayo for dipping prawns - Possum and OH, not me.  When Rasta doggy rolls in fox, goose or coypu poo we rinse her off with the hose pipe and then take her upstairs for a good shampooing in the bath.   Works for us and the rub down afterwards makes her very giddy.

    I think you can definitely have too many succulents @wild edges.

    I know. They're taking up valuable tillandsia space at the moment. I'm experimenting though and it's looking like a lot of them are tougher than they look and are doing fine in the cold greenhouse down to -1 so far.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    One other thing you can have too much of is sleep. Apparently. :|  Looks like I've got a poorly toddler again and being ill is obviously a two man job.

    I got stopped at airport security twice in the last week. There was nothing metallic on me. I've even had all my fillings done! I wasn't sweating so it can't gave been liquids. They stopped me a couple of months ago as well.

    I don't think I look like a terrorist and it happens too often to be random. Do they have a quota of ladies of a certain age?

    BTW what do they see in those X-ray machines. Is it my skeleton or my svelte body? 

    I had to poke my feet in an X-Ray thing. Do you remember when they had them in children's shoe shops?

    I think the toddler has the flu. :/ I'm not especially pleased after the mess up with his flu spray as this could easily have been avoided. At least everyone else has been immunised. Not that that will help me get any more sleep for the next few nights.

    Speaking of airport security, I was flying home from Copenhagen after a university study trip on the same plane as all my fellow students and tutors when several large security guards at Bristol airport dragged me out of our group and off into a private room for interogation. No explaination or anything. Nothing came of it but my tutors still seemed to think I was up to something.

    I was once told that it was my underwired bra cups that made the security machine go off, another time I had sparkly bits in my pullover and another time I was told it was set to catch every 4th person.

    I hope the poorly toddler is better soon.

    Spare a thought for poor Tamara. A nice bath should make her feel better.

    They probably needed the bath to take away all the goodies in.
