The Observer Woman Magazine is a waste of paper. In fact, it is a waste of energy to even open it. I'm glad it fell in the bath.
I am five shades darker with the recent heatwave. (I am sun-kissed in an hour.) I love looking healthy, finally casting off the peelywally yellowness of winter. At the family gathering over the weekend, people told me how well I looked.
Half the battle is looking well, even if you feel like chopped up spam. (Non-UK readers: spam as in tinned meat, not junk email.)
I bumped into my friend today, the one who got married in Italy. He'd taken off his wedding ring already, he can't get used to it and is scared he loses it washing the dishes.

God, that bloody magazine drives me insane too! I threw it in the recycle bin after discovering that Jelly sandals are 'in' this year. It makes me wince.
You are very lucky, nmj. I get any sun at all, I just turn a greyer shade of grey. I would love to be all bronze and healthy looking.
And I must admit, I love Spam. I do, yes, I do. (Well, I did last time I had it -- some twenty years ago.)
I used to take my wedding ring off now and then, but was always so fearful of losing it that I just decided to keep it on at all times. It was easier that way.
hey ms m, jelly sandals, i missed that, now, of course, i must google to find out what the hell they are - not same as crocs are they? - i would quite like a pair of them . . . x
hey gt, yes, i am lucky to be able to lap up the sun (when it is actually here), though as i have said before it is remiss of me not to be more serious about the SPF stuff . . . but when you don't really burn, it's hard to remember to use protector . . . did you have spam in uk? (and how on earth can the sun make you grey?!)
He takes off his wedding ring? Which part can't he get used to, the something-on-my-finger part or the omigod-I-have-a-wife part?
Now that I've said that, I take mine off sometimes because it has stones and turns on my finger, which can hurt.
hey san fran, no it is a completely benign act, i can understand, jewellery 'irritates' me, i can only wear one ring at a time & always take off at night.
nmj, sometimes when people tell me I'm looking well I feel that there is a kind of challenge implicit, eg: you're looking well so there can't really be much wrong with you. I don't let it bother me any more, but I used to. I'd much rather be told I look well than that I look ill.
It is my anniversary today (just lobbing this in because of wedding ring). When we married he said he didn't want a ring because wearing one was uncomfortable, so at exchange of rings time I give him a crystal sphere instead. Every year we add another sphere and have a small basket of them now.
happy anniversary to you & mr signs, that is lovely to have a wee basket of crystal spheres to mark your togetherness.
And lo, another like mind is uncovered!
Making a splash in the bath is one of the better uses of OWM. We are informed it is also handy for lining guinea pig cages and it makes a nice blue flame while lighting a fire...
Just in case you'd missed us, there is lots more Observer Woman related bile at Observer Woman Makes Me Spit
ps - Hiya Ms Melancholy!
Hey Spitting Mad, I love that you have dedicated a whole blog to hating OWM. If I had a guinea pig, I would most certainly line the cage with this trashy rag.
