The Lady Vanishes

I have just taken this selfie while standing full square in front of a pair of mirrored doors. Weird thing is, I don’t appear in it. The answer is simple, of course, both doors are slightly open at about a 20-degree angles, so that the deflection of light does not capture my image. And it makes me wonder about the plethora of internet images of time-travelers, ghosts, etc, appearing and vanishing suddenly while crossing roads or romping in playgrounds, wherever. While I do not disbelieve in such phenomena, I would encourage experts to take a closer look at how these “weird or what” images are constructed.

Cool as mint.......

The dog days are upon us once again; those sleepy, sticky afternoons in August where nothing is happening and the world seems to be in waiting. What better way to blow a breath of fresh air through your life – and your rooms – than with a lovely blend of scented oils? Just now, I am channeling Wilko’s fresh basil and garden mint combination, expertly diffused by this clear glass and silver outfit. The scent, fresh and tangy, cuts a cool note in hot interiors, and without the use of those annoying fans. The spray bottle (100 ml) retails at £2.50, while the diffuser kit (100 ml) costs £5.
