Heh heh. Second favourite Olympic commentary quote: “These young women do things with a ball and a hoop that you would not believe.”

I should be an advertisement for Pink Batts. Currently I have on:

• 3 pairs of socks


• slipper boots


• polyprop leggings


• polarfleece trousers


• polyprop long-sleeved top


• jersey (grey)


• jersey (green)


• jersey (purple)


• hoodie

and the heater is going, too. The section I’m in is on the shady side of the house, so I get no direct sun at all. Combine that with the swirling snow outside and the high ceilings inside, and you’ll see why I am a moaning Michelin Man.

There’s something about other people’s hospital cubicles that bring out my most infantile side. Freedom (Mel’s friend) and I had a game of hand-puppets over the top of the curtain around Mel’s bed, which was accompanied by those senseless silent convulsive hysterics that are really about nothing particularly funny but are irresistible and embarrassing. :)

(hee hee! Hand puppets!)

The hip-replacement dementia patients in the beds across the aisle seemed unamused.

Oh hey, I saw a neat alternative to essential oils for use in oil burners the others day in a shop in the same genre as Living & Giving – a design/gift store. It’s a scented wax that breaks off in cubes like chocolate. It comes in a whole range of scents like wildberry, coconut, sandalwood and so on. You put it in the top of the burner where the water and oil would usually go, and the wax melts and releases a really intense scent – comparable with any oil I’ve burnt. The good thing about it is that the wax cools and hardens for easy removal and minimal waste. I’ve had one block for the past 2 months and am only half-way through the block, so I’m a convert! They smell so good and are a refreshing change from incessant pine, jasmine and lavender.
