cake...............

so today we finally had baby McD's b'day party for her school friends. her b'day was actually the 9th but due to our usual approach to organisation and the party place being booked up there has been a slight delay.
all went well although i do have this to say

SUGAR = CRACK FOR 4 YOUR YEAR OLDS!

now just facing the come down. she doesn't get a lot of sugary crap so when she does, well...............just stand back and enjoy the show. a good time by all and a huge thanks to her classmates (well their parents really) for the generosity with her presents. it is all too much but still greatly appreciated.

on another note while in the shower today i was standing having a shave and the next second i was standing in the changing rooms of my old gym in edinburgh. not physically there obviously (although that would have been cool) but in my mind. it all stemmed from a simple smell. having ran out of my usual shaving gel i was using the spare bottle.....you know the one guys. the one that you got at christmas in your stocking and knew would come in handy one day. anyway the smell of this stuff was similar to the stuff i used back then and just for that moment as i said i was right back there.

i know people go on about a piece of music or an image taking them back to some long forgotten memory but i honestly think that smells are a bigger reminder. it may even be an odd smell to some that reminds you personally of something but every situation has it's own smells and to me they trigger far more than any of the other senses when it comes to memories.

maybe i haven't explained myself to well but my dinner should have been out the oven 6 minutes ago now so i better wrap things up there.

have a great sunday blippers...............
