What a weekend!
'He who pays the mortgage' rallied the troops and this Mothers Day was exceptional. The tiny hands prepared a breakfast and it was lovely, although I think he may need some time to recover from the experience. I had a wonderful day.
Meanwhile, back at the 'Hall of Plenty', 'she who must be obeyed' has spotted some very disturbing trends.
First being the current fashion amongst customers for testing fragrances by shoving the bottle up their noses. Now, I don't know about you but I always thought the pieces of paper provided for the customer, neatly displayed before the bottles were for that, I could be wrong. I could even be wrong to point out that as a spray does just that, spray, surely people are just sniffing what is on somebody else's hands? And what about Swine Flu? M.R.S.A ? Other stuff that comes from up the general public and their many noses?
With 'she who must be obeyed' in a hygiene frenzy, we spent our Monday morning removing stray nose hair off the fragrance bottles.
Just after Operation Deep Clean, she was amazed to witness another event, leaving our glorious leader in need of tea and a bit of a sit down. Several people testing our newly clean bottles of fragrances by enthusiastically spraying themselves in the face.
Now, we are used to people grabbing the odd lipstick, that may or may not have been tested on the back of a hand that hasn't been washed and using it straight off the stand.
But for goodness sake people! Surely that blinding ability of a neat fragrance right in the eye is enough to warn anyone off.
Mind you I suppose it would always kill off the Swine Flu.
