I’ll never forget going to see Mulholland Drive on its opening day. (What a film!)
It was just after Noon. There were a total of 8 weirdo loners scattered throughout the auditorium: me (a spiky-haired, bleach blonde Art History student) & 7 perfectly bald bespectacled men. #DavidLynch

Don’t know if it’s the colour that’s adding to the perception… but this soap at work really has a more than a whiff of The Calpol.
(Back when it tasted lovely because it was full of sugar)

When I was 4 years old I had a very lovely, & very well loved, pair of these in blue.
First go of having my feet sized in the big machine you had to stand on (that DIDN’T squash your tootsies even though it certain seemed like it would) to get them.
I was convinced these shoes made me run faster.
