Not ideal in this hot weather. I am literally waiting for the next thing to hit me, which is not a good state ofVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-23919170461281649002019-08-25T06:16:02.111+01:002019-08-25T06:16:02.111+01:00I sympathize with you: it's not fun when Unive...I sympathize with you: it's not fun when Universe conspires against you. Let's just hope that the pendulum swings into the other direction soon.<br />One thing I don't get: how "a big fat dead mouse" is a bad thing?<br /><br />Both FB and Instagram are too fluent for me: I prefer a paced meaningful conversation to a sporadic outbursts of short updates. As for the hashtags, Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-180982565200076122019-08-21T13:13:28.591+01:002019-08-21T13:13:28.591+01:00Hi Tara,

Only a mini-stapler, but it should see me through till I am reunited on my next visit to France in November with the larger implement. ;)<br /><br />Instagram is calm indeed, and I like how slowly it moves. Almost glacially so Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-82347149566948983202019-08-21T13:08:06.709+01:002019-08-21T13:08:06.709+01:00Hi Jillie,

Val the Cookie Queen is very fond of that one too, and says it to me often.<br /><br />If you have occasion to take a train from Swindon station, there should be a poster advertising this perfume on the concourse somewhere. Well, depending on how long the campaign was.

I need to laugh at myself more, and the incident with the radio and the mince was too random not to be comical at the same time.<br /><br />How very apt of Blogger to eat your comment - on this post of all topics. ;) Thanks for persevering with another attempt. It is comforting too to know that you are no stranger to many ofVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-87873578558720612902019-08-21T10:31:55.481+01:002019-08-21T10:31:55.481+01:00Oh V, it has been a torrid time.

Although similar to Hamamelis 'Accidentally sent my hole puncher and stapler to France' did raise a smile. <br /><br />I sincerely hope this is the end of it. <br /><br />Instagram is a calm oasis compared to the ranting on Twitter and FB. I like the Stories and Lives too. Hashtagging can be amusing so happy you're coming round to it.

As the Chinese say (to compensate for their curse I suppose) "all things pass - this too will pass". So you may look forward to a calm period soon.<br /><br />Understand and agree with everything you say!<br /><br />Swindon????? A perfume from Swindon?????
