Today I intend to take a bag of clothes to the local charity shop. I've started to be a bit more efficient at culling the lists of things that have been listed online for a long time without being sold.

And I really must do my nails, the Nightshade varnish is all chipped, half of it is missing. I intended to do it yesterday but had to rush out in such a rush that I forgot all about it.

I really must get back into practising doing my nails. My wife will do mine if I ask, but I'd like to ne competent enough fo my own. Doing my left hand is pretty easy, doing my right is just embarrassing.

@22Michelle I don't think my right is embarrassing, not always at least. But it's certainly much more difficult and the results worse than the left. It would be very handy to have someone else do them.

@22Michelle Here's my right done this morning before going out. Didn't bother doing my toenails as they don't get so chipped and don't look too bad.

Good enough for me.

@ninalanyon That is pretty good. Way better than I can manage. As before I really must practice. It's just laziness on my part.

@22Michelle This particular nail varnish went on very smoothly. Some others I've tried seem stickier and more difficult to apply evenly.

This is an ancient bottle of Rimmel Wear Maxx number 393 Desire That I inherited from my wife. It claims to be good for up to ten days. I expect it isn't made any more, it must be well over ten years old.

@ninalanyon Glad to know you're environmentally conscious. No sense in wasting nail varnish.

@22Michelle More like too mean and lazy to buy more I'm afraid. :-)

@ninalanyon I knew that, I was being polite!
