Mine was 'History of the Bikini'.

DH was watching World At War and was surprised to see archival footage of women wearing bikinis. He thought they came into fashion around the early 50s so definitely post war.

(5600 BC was first recorded evidence of bikini-style clothing for women... TBH anyone who saw the documentary that was Raquel Welch's 1 million years BC could have known that)

Recipes for turkey risotto and turkey supreme.

Not sure which one I'll pick by tonight or whether to stick with turkey and gammon salad.

Decisions, decisions 🙄

M&S sale for a new nightie. Ordered one which said Jersey and now discover it's modal not cotton. Gah! I am persuading myself it will be acceptable.

When was the Euro introduced. My Dad said 1990 but I was sure it was far later. 1990 was ERM territory.

I was right! It was 1999.

Mine was 'YouGov surveys ideology', I wanted to find a recent survey mentioned on the radio which finds the two ideologies which have the most positive response in the U.K. at the moment are environmentalism and feminism. Not what you'd expect if you believed X etc!Grin

Dwarf Yellow Pufferfish. I went to the local fish shop with stocking questions for my rather small freshwater tank, but an entire family of 9 people were clogging up the shop seemingly stocking a new tank as the staff tried desperately to explain to multiple excited children that this fish will grow too big for their tank, that fish won't be compatible with this one, etc etc, as they scurried around pointing at random fish.

I hovered around for a bit, couldn't find any pygmy corydoras, Googled the dwarf pufferfish then gave up and came home.

Footage of a squid that's supposed to be able to leap 30 metres out of the water. It was a quiz question and I am doubting its veracity.

yes, really.

I very badly need the context for this.

I’m in Indonesia, I had a tour booked to go to Komodo island but then I found out they can smell blood (including period) from 5 miles away and may attack you. Tampons are difficult to find here and I wondered if plugging up my vag might keep the smell in as opposed to a pad. Answers inconclusive.

Xbox series x promised my DS one for Christmas but he was happy to wait until now. Having trouble sourcing one though but Curry’s have come up trumps, although I can’t pick up until Monday. DS is fine with it, he is a mature 20yr old.
Next job is a new tumble dryer.

3d reconstruction of the D-Day constructions at Lepe Beach - after a Boxing Day walk there and the info board failing to explain all the structures sufficiently. Found this excellent explanation - scroll to the bottom of the page

Aah thank you. I hope you have a wonderful time (sitting in the bar drinking cocktails while everyone else sees the dragons). Thanks

Was Seema the lady who had to give birth behind bars? I have heard interviews with her and her strength and resilience is truly something.

People need to be jailed. Not the ones who actually were. I hope that a proper reckoning is in their future.

Yes she was. Absolutely shocking. I hope many people go to prison for this but I bet they don't.

Interrailing tickets. DC1 and DC2 are interested in an interrailing trip (with me) in the summer. I think we're going to do Northern Europe, possibly Scandinavia.
