Share four somethings


Something Loved: It's been busy with lots of great times with friends. I've really loved being out and about and having fun. We had a party this weekend to start the Christmas gatherings (getting in before everoyne gets busy) and it was lovely to see everyone after what's been a busy and weird year. I did one of those scavenger hunt games (an Alice in Wonderland themed one) and it was so great to see hundreds of 'characters' roaming the city. Do it with the kids or with adult friends it's great kooky fun for a few hours.



So I guess I'm just loving fun and friends and all the good things in life.


Something Gleaned: I learnt Old Spice was originally a fragrence for women. And that the tonsils are part of the immune system.  And barbers used to perform surgery. None of these are important. I just found them interesting and they came up in weird ways in the last week.








Something Braved or Saved: I've been enjoying this podcast (there's some sort of problem and it's been taken down briefly but it's definitely worth listening to when it goes back up - there are some old ones on Audible.














Something Achieved: Not achieved anything of note. Getting this corssed off the list, very busy but really can't say anything with pride or worth mentioning. I guess I really need to get some Christmas shopping achieved...





The World Cup is stealing a lot of my writing time, so short and sweet this month!

  1. That scavenger hunt looks like so much fun and Old Spice for women, who knew? The time difference is very favourable for World Cup games here so we've been watching them morning, noon and night, literally!

  2. I always enjoy your 4 things posts Lydia and I love the idea of all those people in character wandering around the streets - such a happy thought. Also barbers were the first dentists too - obviously steady hands were part of the job description - quick beard trim / tonsils out / tooth extracted...... all in a days work.

  3. Wait, Old Spice was originally for women? That's fascinating and now I want to know more! ;-) My young adult daughter has preferred Old Spice deodorant for herself for quite a few years now, and maybe she's onto something! Visiting from SFS

  8. You are in your element here in this post...and I am guessing also tired out because of Australia's win over Denmark last night!! Thanks so much for joining in this week’s WWandPics link up where I got to celebrate being 73. Still getting used to the new number…Here we are, it’s December and there are 3 more weeks to link up till I take a short break. I always enjoy seeing your blog pop up on the website. Take care, Denyse.

  12. That was interesting bits of details about Old Spice. My Dad has worn Old Spice products since I was a kid. My youngest son has used their products a lot too.

    That podcast does sound worth listening to just from the title of it.

  16. I did not watch the Cup, I prefer to hear the results...
    To love the fun, the friends and all the good things in life, I think it's perfect. Or mandatory...
    Thank you for entering in the game with this lovely post.
    Happy WW!

  17. Delightful somethings. I'd just splashed on some Old Spice before discovering its origin! Not a footie fan myself (even less so now England is out!) and I'm looking forward to TV getting back to normal!
