yes there are houseplants ones about
i used to wear Gardinia perfume until my handbag was stolen and all i could think (and keep saying to the policeman) was that some nomark would give my perfume to some scummy chav so he'd get his legover
and so i stopped wearing it .. today in flower shop i smelt the scent again and fell back in love with it
i wore it as a poser thing from the Roxy Music song (which i forget) that mentions gardinia perfume
evening

tonight we couldnt get into the room we are using at the pub for the history club via the usual back door and we three women had to go through the main entrance
as the pub went quiet and all eyes turned to us we realised that we are using what is possibly the last remaining 'man pub' ... no women in the bar at all, all the men standing up and all drinking pints
it was like travelling back to the 50s

That would be like the Smoking Room at Dubai airport. How was I supposed to know that the squiggly writing said 'Men Only'. Never seen a room clear so quickly in my life

work has been fun .. 12 olderlies came in to stuff envelopes with brochures ... at the same time workmen came to paint the access stairs foyer bit, so they all had to travel in The Lift,
many struggled to keep their fingers on the button and so the lift kep staggering to a jolty halt .. and you could see all of the person except their feet
we laughed everytime a head (usually in a furry hat) appeared rising from the depths
a couple of the women refused to travel down without Rick
