Wifie has bought a hot tub. Just why?

She's told me to set it up while she is at work and i can share it with her.

I almost said the last time I shared a bath with you was a good while ago and I was young and flexible enough for a bit of impromtu gigi gigi.

Luckily enough i engaged brain before mouth because I then remembered it wasn't her I shared that bath with.

I bought a nice rose: white with red edging, its got a slight smell and has quite small flowers, its very pretty. I've put it in a big pot to stand alongside one of the fences
Its got cunty thorns though I never learn.

I also bought some heliotrope, which I am overly chuffed about.
Not only did I have it on my "scented flowers" hit-list even though I didnt know how it smelt, simply because it was so highly rated ...

... but also I've discovered that it is a smell that I already love, which I haven't been able to pin down for nearly 40 years.

I used to work at Auckland University and of course the gardens there were very well looked after. I used to walk past a square near the Law Faculty that had a run of shrubs, of which one smelt wonderful - I thought, like baby powder - but I couldn't pin down which one it was.

As soon as I sniffed the heliotrope on the weekend, I just knew exactly what it was, and I had to have it. So I had two pots

Planted one in the garden, just as you open the gate, so you can smell it as you walk in the garden Put the other one, still in a pot, out by my front door. I might move it to a bigger pot cos I want it to grow so I will be able to smell it when I come in the door.

Happy hellkat, easily pleased

^IIRC you can produce/use up to 2,500 litres of the stuff before the taxman wants a cut.

That's enough to cover over 26,000 miles @ 40mpg. Pretty much most people wouldn't get near that.

Boring shopping today.

IRL: A bag of salad (back on the diet) and a visit to the nailbar ladies. Rather worryingly, the lady who also tidied up my eyebrows gave me big modern ones this time round. I'm not best pleased but fuck it, lets see who notices

Online: Cat flea pipettes and a sonic cat scarer. All my work in the garden is wasted when all it smells of is cat poo. I live in a scumbag area (we are the borough in which the polio scare has started ) and I have little to no social conscience, so fuck the neighbours in whose gardens my cats might pooh, at least they won't have fleas, right.

New lid. Didn't need a new lid but bought one in advance of the new bike, HJC F70 in Matt plain Carbon.

I do already have a carbon lid, a Shark Spartan Carbon to be precise but it's glossy carbon finish and a mare to keep clean.
Plus I keep that for super sunny days as it has a super dark black visor on it which I can't be arsed to keep changing out
for a clear one when needed.

I really wanted a matt look carbon on my next lid, the Tech Black I have ordered my MT10 in is a kind of satin finish
paint, and I have plans for a couple of carbon bits and pieces for the new bike, so hopefully it's more in keeping with that
look. I also wanted something more sport touring oriented as I have some longer runs planned, with cutouts for speakers
as I have a second Sena kit sitting there doing nothing, and with a large visor with a wide field of vision.

This was a steal at £289 imo.

I'm a bit of billet slag too. Just arrived, Quadlock handlebar mount PRO and case for my phone. I have a hard wired
Garmin mount on the current bike and barely use my nav unit as I then have to carry something else around when off the
bike whereas I always have my phone. Did consider a ram X mount but they look gopping on the bike plus I'm not so
sure something so pricey should rely on a glorified elastic band to keep an expensive phone safe at three digit velocities.
