these are my salad days
Jul. 1st, 2026 02:59 pmDo you remember the boob rabbits? An unsuccessful attempt at mail-ordered breast wrangling.
Well, I have found something miraculous, and I must share:it is truly the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. Happily I purchased three. They come from Conturve, which keeps popping up on my Instagram—I have a regrettable habit of clicking on Instagram ads, though I mostly refrain from actual purchasing. Anyway. I am a 40C or 38D or 42B, and the bra I got using the size charts fits beautifully, is very shapely, and I really don't notice it once it is on. Designed in England, made in China. So. Information for those in need.

Weather is much pleasanter this week, the kind of temperatures that can be dealt with by a summer dress or T-shirt and shorts, and by judicious use of curtains and window-opening. It appears there is more ridiculously hot weather ahead, but I shall count my blessings while I have them. I have harvested the first few delicious little courgettes, sweetcorns are burgeoning on their stalks, we have eaten a dozen or so mange tout pods, and there will be raspberries in tonight's fruit salad. Oh, and there are some tomatoes as well, including I think one I grew from the seeds of a fancy tomato I got at the local market. Though the beans are doing very little—only two appear to have germinated. Is it too late to sow more?

Air conditioning at the gym appears to be about par for Bannatynes, ie crap. I could hardly breathe in yesterday's Killer Yoga class, but happily, this morning's Tough Yoga was much more doable, and I could not actually wring out my headscarf afterwards.
*
It makes me happy when I see members of the Firefly cast working together. We are currently watching Resident Alien (Alan Tudyk is *so* good), in which Nathan Fillion plays #42.

Apparently our neighbour has just bought an electric car, and is coming round to have a look at our charger. Splendid. They are becoming increasingly common among chorus members, too.
