It's the prof's GOTCHA-versary! He has celebrated by rubbing his wet nose all over me, battling the corner, and has enjoyed a cat sausage. He is the light of my life, I type, with a tear in my eye. He also dunked his tail in my cup of tea. Thankfully it was cold, eh readers...

Marmola contained "little desiccated thyroid and a lot of laxatives" and was made by a "crafty old Detroiter called Edward D. Hayes, vendor of notrums" Acc. Time in 1935, "like all thyroid preparations, Marmola may cause a user to drop dead, or cripple control his heart" Ad: Stitchcraft 1950 (!)

Are you easy to look at? You may use makeup most tastefully and you might wear the most marvellous dresses, but will you attract unless you have a proportionate figure? Get back that youthful contour by taking Marmola tablets. 3/8 and a half per box postage paid.

First trip to Haidilao today! I made about five trips to the condiment bar, had my senses blasted by 🌶️ sichuan ma la soup 🌶️ (wd have it no other way) and had some of my fave hotpot ingredients which are, um, spam and fishballs. (they soak up the flavours!) also witnessed the noodle dance. GRATE

Bacardi Breezers might have been consumed (I checked the 96 charts for this post. I do not remember RATAMAHATTA by SEPULTURA 1 jot! Hein?!)
