Lavender Oil

[Robinia]

Can anyone recommend a good lavender oil please? I've bought them in the past and they just didn't smell right somehow. It's mainly for refreshing wheat packs, pillows etc.

Morning,

Neti, River Cruise again in June, Rhine and Moselle for one week. Only 90 ish people on the boat and stop offs every day. I would never do a sea cruise with crowds. I would only do a sea cruise on a small private boat - which is never likely to happen.

Morning
Bright and sunny but biting east wind .
I've just been watching the press conference on Richard 111 and it is him .
Fascinating .What a coup for Leicester.

[LoftyLottie]

Sunny, but have yet to go outside. Now that I have Shaney's weather news I might not even venture out!!

My avatar refuses to change from the snotty one!!

[LoftyLottie]

It changed!!

Hi lottie, that sounds like a lovely cruise, that one I would like! Maybe when I win the lottery and will take my sisters!

Lovely sunny and warm day here, changed the bedding and it has all got really dry on it's own without using the tumble drier.

Have just squeezed about 40 oranges to make juice, they are so delicious this time of year (navels).

Bl**dy Spain, they have now changed alol the banking rules (IN THEIR FAVOUR!) so to cash in my English cheque for £200 when I should have got 231€ they now charge 12€ for the transaction, and this in a bank that we have used since 1974!!! I am incandescent with fury! I asked for pensioners' discount, no! Grr!

I am doing the downstairs floors today. Washing the mud trapper rugs and steaming the hards floors and shampooing the rug in the lounge. Brilliant eh?
Except the shampooer just died messily in the middle of the half shampooed rug.
I have just shelled out for a new one on amazon because I can't do without one....well i could but the health police would be round here right quick.....

[woofgang]

.....so there goes the cruise......(joking as I have no one to leave the dogs with)

[Robinia]

A'noon...well it was a waste of mascara this morning, these shops get worse.
I used to fancy cruises but not now, I'm with Mr neti. My sister's friends went on one and it turned into a nightmare thanks to a stomach bug that swept through all the passengers and crew.

I've been reading about Richard III, as one who's never been good at history I think it's fascinating and exciting and makes it all real...unlike some miz Guardian female journalist who said the opposite. I'm no intellectual and I know it's not going to change history but hey ho...and only 32 when he died, poor man.
And here's what we might have been wearing if we'd been around to wave him off...Actually some of mine are pretty similar. :)

Baby Crofter shaney, that's it...I'm pleased it really does knit well, I was a bit sceptical but in that case I'll do one as time goes on a bit, in a bigger than first size maybe. Lovely for a country babe...

There's a prog on Channel 4 tonight about Richard .
Watching the live stream it was strange how it abruptly ended just as the guy from C4 got on the stand ! Sour grapes by the BBC ?
It's amazing .I think he was much maligned because as Duke of Gloucester he was a pretty good Duke apparently .Once he was seen off the Tudors rolled out the propaganda machine pdq and he's gone down in history as an evil King .He was probably ill advised and used as a scapegoat for the movers and shakers of the time .

[Robinia]

oh I might watch that shaney, if I stay awake I had a rotten night....the patterns are lovely, it's clever how it works out.

Hope this wind eases before bedtime. An old chap's cap blew off at the shops, his wife went after it and I ended up walking alongside them. We had a laugh and decided he need a hatpin. He said it wasn't even his cap really, someone had picked up the wrong one in the pub and left him with that one...hahaha, don't you love 'em!
