Spring has Sprung

At long last spring has sprung in SA, isn't it amazing how the onset of the warmer months just lifts ones spirits! Never do I feel more positive, energetic and hopeful than when I see the little buds appear on the trees. Tiny specks of green appearing through my sullen looking, dried out lawn. All of a sudden bathing, dressing and getting up in general don't seem half as difficult as they do in the winter...nothing is worse for me than a winter shower - you may think I am crazy, but you need to understand my shower needs a degree to set - you see we have a little pressure problem here - you need to psyche yourself for this supposed simple event! Just when you think you have mastered the temperature, you venture forth under the wonderful warmth and BAM, some poppol puts on the hot water! You scream like a cat with it's tail shut in the sliding door - in fact your eyes probably jump from their sockets - your wonderful warm shower has turned to ice - now I don't exactly have a big shower, so maneuvering my not so delicate frame out of this spitting cobra is no fun!!

Once you have started to breathe again, you slowly muster up the courage to venture forth to try to re-set the temperature, a tweak here and a tweak there, another tweak here and a F(or)F(%$#) S(akes) there!!! Eventually there we go, it’s right, you move back in and start to enjoy this wonderful warm shower, the tension oozes from your muscles and.......yes, you got it - now someone has flushed the loo, you instantly dive from the heat straight against the cold tiled wall - a double whammy of temperature change! At this stage the FFS!!! appears again and you find yourself turning off the taps and climbing out of the shower! Conditioner still half stuck to your head, soap in orifices it shouldn't be - but screw it, there is only so much tuning of taps you can do at 06:00 in -2 degrees!

Which takes me to my next issue!!!?? I am convinced that razor companies are in cahoots with anti-perspirant companies - I don't know if it's just me, and I guess this is probably overshare but by goody goodness me I swear that they now place some form of fertiliser in roll ons and deodorants - it seems the more I use these products the quicker my underarm twigs return - I mean seriously, something in those deos must be providing some serious nutrients cos I swear me and my razor have become inseparable!!! So the only think I can think is that Gillette is paying them huge amounts of money to add these fertilisers so that we have to keep buying more blades!

On that note, let me go a spray some anti-perspirant on my head....maybe my head hair will grow quicker...till next time then...
