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)

Lash serum.

I put mascara on the other day and even with it could barely see my eyelashes. DD told me to try serum, apparently it helps them grow.

‘Watch Labyrinth’ to find out which streaming service it’s on.

The rise and mouth of the Zambezi. And the countries the Nile (white and blue) flows through...and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't realise that the Victoria falls is nowhere near Lake Victoria Blush

An actor in the drama I was watching because I thought I recognised him from Ghosts. Dd said it wasn’t him. She was right.

Some interesting colour pallets out there in cosmetic land..

Black castor oil is your friend, I would think.
You'd need to take care not to get it in your eyes..
I used to be aware that my (once thick) eyebrows were much thinner at the outside third... after a couple of months of using CO on my brows.... my other half commented on them, he had no way of knowing I'd been daily applying the oil, so it was gratifying to get a positive comment without me seeking out an opinion.

My DS googled the name of a baddie in a Van Damme film we were all watching.

I was chuffed to bits that I'd recognised him as 'Buffalo Bill' in Silence Of The Lambs.
Google proved me right 😁

Scooter because I have seen loads of (a bit younger than mine) kids around here on a very similar one the last few days and wondered if they were having a bit of a resurgence - seems they are!

I was Googling reviews of the new Robbie Williams film to see if it’s any good. It sounds brilliant actually!

"Brewington Hardaway"

A chess prodigy. I wanted to know his age, and why the eff his parents called him Brewington. Found out the first Q but not the second.

UK Lash, you won’t regret it. Thank me later ☺️

The last thing I googled was oversized table lamps because I need one.

White acrylic pens, I've started colouring in and need them for my highlights.

Why am I suddenly so itchy? Of course it could be one of about 300 things but somehow I thought google would have a definitive answer like it's your washing powder, Laura from Burnley, stop using the plastic pod things, happy to help, yours ever Google xx
