I've worn Chanel No 5 my whole adult life.
Day, night, for shopping, for work, for special occasions.
I'm not bored with it, but I somethime wonder if I'm missing out on something else really nice out there.
But at the same time, I'm a wee bit pissed off at all the celeb jump on the bandwagon scents and aftershaves that are out there.
What's your poison and would you recommend a change?
:rose:
Oh, and edited to add for comments on aftershave. Harry always used to use Valentino and I don't think you can get that any more. He smelled bloody divine in it. :twisted: :twisted:
He's now on Armani Code at the moment, very nice but not the same effect as the Valentino, more's the pity, he says. :giggle:
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah
This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
Chorus
First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, and triplets and twins in
They sang every morning, "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam, ya!"
Chorus
The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'
They all sang in chorus, "How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
Chorus
A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.
Their salaries I think are pretty reasonable, its the expenses that get my goat!
I heard on the radio that the Army allow something like 2 quid a day to feed their soldiers, yet MP's want to increase their lunch allowance from £20 to £30!
Talk about fat cats!
(a-wa) o kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange

Shes a rich girl
She dont try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Hes a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say shes crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well thats one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said youve taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What Im talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say Im crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well thats one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
Wow, scary disturbing topic for me. I've had vivid recurring dreams since childhood.
As a kid, I both sleep walked and talked and experienced a certain degree of night terrors, including such vivid dreams that it felt like the bed was being tossed around.
I also had recurring pleasant dreams, mostly involving flying. As in, no planes, just me, either high and slow, soaring over the rooftops, or fast and low across the school playgrounds.
The pleasant dreams have diminished over the years, but the scarey ones have gone on into adulthood where every threatening or disturbing dream would have me awake and aching in the middle of the night.
Yes...aching....a theme of any nightmare is pain in my lower legs and feet ( not cramp ) to the degree it can make me cry out in pain.
I still have regular bad dreams and given the last couple of shitty years, many of them involve Ma & Pa. They never make any sense and leave me exhausted.
I also regularly dream of intruders, mostly when Harry has gone off in the middle of the night, as is required by his job. I feel totally alert and awake and am convinced intruders are coming up the stairs....of course its all a dream.
The human mind....what a mind fuck!!!
Concession
He played well....
.....but I still hate him and tennis generally....
( the ungracious ramblings of kittysin.... )
Oh, but the umpire was pretty cool! :twisted:
Winchwench, really interested to know if you applied a colour to that Whitby shot, as it is stunningly monochrome...fab!
But, favourite are the sea defences at Whitstable.....absolutely perfect composition.
The word association comes from the pic - so now you post a word or phrase that the photo made you think of.
Cute puppy
Your word to search.......
Freaky!
This bint's sister!
Whoops, edited to say....a film....oh and a book.
My signature line shows the depth of my wit, intelligence and imagination. :giggle:
That whale pic gave me goosebumps, must have been amazing seeing them right there!
I'm still very amateur, learning my aperture priority from my shutter priority!
I'm very like you in my choice of pics, NWC, animals and scenery, not just a pretty landscape but a broken down old shed or an old twisted tree. I love textures too, which is why I love macro photography.
Harry has been having a go with some action pics.
Thanks, both, I'm quite pleased with it too. One of my first attempts with my new macro lens.
Another flower....gerbera centre.
Not sure if this has been done before, or if allowed ( please close if not and accept my apologies ) but have we any amateur ( or professional ) photographers in the house?
Harry and I are both keen photographers....and not just the smuttyartistic type shots, but allsorts.
Harry is getting into sports/action photography and I’m keen on botanical and other macro stuff as well as general landscape and wildlife shots.
Anyone like to share some pics ( within the AUP ) with others?
Here’s one of early test of my macro lens.
Neither .... bleughhhhh
OK, if I gotta choose.....again.....
Marmalade - but I'll be holding my nose as it goes down..
Speaking of which...
Spit
or
Swallow?
Eyes open...
Gin or Vodka?
