I was feeling a bit grumpy last night because one of my two pale blue face-cloths, the soft and comfortable ones, has been getting a bit thin in the centre, and is now slowly developing a hole. In fact I was downright cross about the poor quality this displayed and how things were not as good as they used to be.

This peeve passed when I remembered that my mother got them for me in 1968.

Thatā€™s impressive. Doubly so, in fact: how on earth do you remember which year particular facecloths came into your life?

It was when I left home, or rather, stopped being there all the time. Before then I used the white ones we all had, which were ours for a week and then boiled while each of us had a new one from the hot-airing cupboard, but when you are not at home for most of the year that system doesnā€™t work.

It didnā€™t work when I had conjunctivitis and needed to have a new face-cloth every day either, but that was only for six weeks when I was nine.

Ah. All is now clear on that front.

What is not clear to me at the moment is how it is that I seem to be brewing a cold. How? Whut? WHY?

The aforementioned quadruped decided to knead my oxter this morning, purring like an idling Routemaster. Hairy fool!

White face cloths in this house for the cleansing routine - canā€™t use soap on my face. They go in the Blessed Milton before the Washeen. Coloured facecloths fer everywhere else & those mittens/gentle body scrubs for the shower.

I was delighted to hear, on the World Service last night, that ā€œscientistsā€ think they may have found a way to save coral reefs by making them better able to withstand sea temperatures rising. Good news if true.
